During the CDC museum visit‚ the two exhibits I found the most interesting were "Where Children Sleep: Photographs by James Mollison" and the Iron Lung. Both of these exhibits caught my attention and I learned a lot from the tour guide‚ especially about the iron lung and polio. The “Where Children Sleep” exhibit was very enlightening and it was fascinating to see how different children live across the united states and the world. In the photos that I took pictures of‚ there was a young boy form Italy

named Adolf Hitler. Now that we were learning it again and that we went to visit the Museum of Tolerance‚ I remember that Adolf Hitler attacked all of the Jews because of who they are and what they thought was right. 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

As I walked through the Blacks in Wax Museum I was both upset and happy by what I saw. Going into the slave ship and seeing the slaves being branded like livestock and shackled one on top of the other really brought to life the struggle that the slaves had to endure. I don’t understand how the white people can think of the slaves as less than human‚ and at the same time want to rape the women. The Lynching Exhibit opened my eyes to how cruel people can really be. What hit home was the story of pregnant

these times in our history. Many of these items were either donated or loaned by the Veterans Museum in Balboa Park and the Japanese American Historical Society of San Diego. While researching for museums‚ early in February I came across the main website for these historical sites. It caught my eye because I knew that this exhibit would cast a different kind of perspective than other grand museums. There are a ton of histories on World War II‚ but there are very few on the home front experience

just art it is much more than that and has a powerful meaning all which not only has my teacher shown me but my fellow peers as well. When first entering the art museum I can say I entered a completely different world. Art is said to be work that is made of skill and imagination and that is what I got as I explored the entire museum.

A few months ago I visited the History Colorado Center museum in Denver. One of the exhibits is about the internment camp Amache-Granada that is located in southeastern Colorado. It was a very nice exhibit‚ during the exhibit a video played that went over the history of Amache and the internment of the Japanese Americans. During the video there was a picture of little girl with her hand over her heart. The voice on the video said “When I went to school on December 8th‚ kids came up to me and shouted
