Trip to the Museum It’s the first Saturday of March‚ on a cold morning with a clear sky and a radiant sun‚ I decided to visit a museum in downtown Saint Louis‚ Missouri. I’m arriving at eleven o’clock‚ a little bit late to what I was expecting because the Metrolink train had a delay due to technical problems. The museum is located exactly below the famous Gateway Arch of Saint Louis. I have heard that it’s an excellent place to learn about American History and the way America expanded to the West

The last decades‚ museum studies and practice are marked by a shift in traditional museum views that emerged from a strong critique towards the narratives‚ values and‚ finally‚ the very definition of museums in contemporary western society. The emergence of New Museology was decisive in theorizing and putting this turn into a larger context that involved ideological‚ political and aesthetic dimensions. Museums‚ far from being neutral spaces of knowledge have a significant function in the mediation

Although the Orlando Art Museum was the last Cultural place I visited it was definitely my favorite. The insane art fixtures and sculptures I saw left me baffled at what I thought art really was. I always saw art as something sort of boring‚ and I wasn’t all that excited for visiting this art museum.

The Painting double

However‚ I went inside to the Museum of Tolerance and I kind of understand why you can’t bring camera to the museum. The Museum of Tolerance‚ in my opinion‚ is one of the best museums that were ever created. It tells the

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
