ART Fatima Lundy I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art with my mom and my sister. I didn’t quite enjoy it at first‚ but as I explored the museum more‚ I began to feel enlighten at the sight of the different forms of art.

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

Ella Sharp Museum Jackson Exhibit Overall Ella Sharp is an art and history museum. The exhibit I went to was the one on Jackson history. It is one of three permanent exhibits in the museum. The Jackson Exhibit was about the history of Jackson Michigan area from “pre-history to now (circa. 1980’s). It took me a good bit of searching to find the exhibit label. Partially because I thought the label should be near the main entrance to the exhibit and larger than a 9x11 piece of paper. But once I did find
