of those things I always thought I wouldn’t really understand. As a kid‚ I always wanted to draw but I soon realized how awful my cartoons were and gave up drawing‚ I did not really think art was for me.

It was a great experience‚ I really liked all of the artworks but there were three from the exhibit that really stood out to me. The first of which was called

Dallas Museum of Art Report When I entered the building‚ I could feel an atmosphere that was rather calm yet lively at the same time. I decided to pick the Dallas Museum of Art because it has variety. The museum has works from various cultures and I enjoy looking at paintings more than anything else. This being my second time visiting the museum‚ I had more of a chance to enjoy all that was open to the public that I did not get to see when I first came with my fashion design class when I was a

For my museum response‚ I visited Shrem Museum. The first thing that catches my attention are Robert Arneson’s toilets. The toilets look old and disgusting‚ but what is most disturbing about them is that the some of the toilets included random body parts. For instances‚ there were lips on the top of one toilet.

Although the museum was very informative‚ the one main detail that it did not have was many actual artifacts. It had a few artifacts‚ but none that were noteworthy or interesting in regards to history. My experience in the Museum of Tolerance mostly focuses on the holocaust exhibit of the museum‚ which then

I firmly believe that the point of visiting a museum is to educate one on how things once were in the past through its display of artifacts‚ exhibits‚ art‚ cultural objects‚ etc. Its purpose is to let you imagine what it was like during a time you were not apart of or‚ in some cases‚ allow you to look back at a time you were apart of when you were very young. The African-American Museum of Long Island did a great job at presenting some of the many African-American contributions to society. In addition

Now visiting the Museum and refreshing my memory‚ I remember that they captured all of the Jews and sent them to concentration camps for them to work until they died or until they got lucky to leave. Museum of Tolerance is evidence of my growth because when we went as a school they showed
