As a major in information systems, it is critical to have an understanding of how to work together and decipher concepts/messages left behind by others in the IT department. The night at the museum is the ultimate culmination of collaboration with people that are similar to myself, similar to how an IT technician has to…

While currently undeclared, I aim to be an urban planning major come next semester. Because of this I’ve developed a particular interest in the history and culture of the land of America and its people, native or otherwise. This exhibition contained information from all walks of this lens, from indigenous art to contemporary pieces on…

I would relate this to my current major because this is very calming and enforces a lot of mixed feelings and a sense of calmness. There’s emotional impact and behavioral insights.

As a result, I am able to appreciate the value of museums more now as it goes beyond…

The Night at the Museum experience challenged my previous museum ideas by granting me more time to analyze artwork, ultimately unlocking their deeper meaning and ideas. This analysis not only reveals information about the artist and their intent, but also allows the viewer to connect their experiences to the artists intent to generate new thoughts…

This experience had challenged my previous beliefs in a way that I cannot even imagined. I used to hear so many bad things about museums, saying that it was supposedly boring or not worth your time, etc. I would encourage this others always. It is a great learning experience.

I would connect it to psychology because I see these art work as a way of evolving when it comes to history. And also it involves an individual( the person looking at the works ) feelings and thoughts to figure out what the art is trying to convey from their point of view.
