Night at the Museum

I am currently studying Forensic Psychology and minoring in film! I definitely made some connections between the experience at Night at the Museum and what I’ve been studying so far. In regards to psychology, I took notice of the emotions evoked by a lot of the art within the exhibit, and found myself thinking about the headspace the artist might have been in when creating it. I thought a lot about the relationship people have with art, and how we tend to make personal connections when observing it to potentially establish relatability. As for film, there was a more subtle detail I noticed in myself, which was the fact that I took more notice of framing/composition of the art I looked at than I ever had before. I think it was really interesting how the things I’ve been studying came through during the Night at the Museum. Additionally, one of the books that were in the exhibit was one that I had read in my English class (The 1619 Project).
