Little did we know‚ when we were sent on a field trip to the Ayala Museum‚ what we would see there. All that we were told was that it was an "educational field trip" and something to do with Filipiniana.net’s advocacy of anything and everything Filipino. So‚ we were really in for a treat when we set foot on the fourth floor of the museum and a short film started to play the moment we stepped inside the sliding doors. "Gold of Ancestors: Crossroads of Civilization"‚ it began‚ and went on to show some

GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM BILBAO Bilbao—today one of the top tourist destinations in Europe—was such a backwater in the 1990s that‚ according to Gehry‚ the 265‚000-square-foot museum‚ beside the Nervión River‚ went up almost unnoticed by the press. That only contributed to the drop-dead impact it created with its unveiling. “I like to work under the radar as much as I can. It’s been harder since I’ve gotten notorious‚” says Gehry. The first photos of the near-complete structure‚ which resembles a gargantuan

they experience is lack luster. The Sutliff museum is full of timeless treasures‚ offering a wonderful insight to 19th century history and the underground railroad. Unfortunately‚ the current promotional material does not do the museum justice. It appears out date and doesn’t grab the attention of an audience. I’d like to rebrand the promotional material for The Sutliff Museum so that it reflects an updated‚ fresh design that draws people to the museum. My intent is to design two brochures‚ an information

enjoyable. Getting the whole experience of physical artwork is a more exciting way to learn and catches my interest more‚ which is why I was so excited to visit a new museum and look at some art. For this assignment I decided to go to the LACMA museum. I have been to many museums before‚ but I have not visited the Los Angeles County Museum of Art yet so I was very excited. I find a lot of art very fascinating‚ but I am more interested in the more contemporary and modern arts. I am a design major so
