my museum



If I started my own museum I feel that it would be about different landscapes around the world that shows how people see things differently even though we live on the same planet. I would name this museum “The Museum of Natural Living”. I would locate this museum in Queens, NY because Queens is one of the most cultural diverse places. I would like to put photos of people from all parts of the world. I would also like to put different foods and traditions that countries have. I would also like to put cameras in different parts of the world and display them to the audience so that they can have the feel of how it is in that part of the world. The reason why I would like to put different photos of people around the world is because there are so many unique and interesting people in this world and society only focus on the beauty that is on the outside but not on the inside. Another reason why I would like to have photos of people in my museum is because who better to complement their surroundings then the native people. For example if you go to the Dominican Republic and take a beautiful picture in the forest it would look more interesting if you have a actual native than a model because it helps create questions in your head like “what does that person do for a living?” or “why are they there at that moment?” when you have model all you really focus on is there beauty or what they have on, you rarely noticed there surrounding, and I’m saying this because I am one of those people . The reason why I would put different photos of traditions and food is because it’s always good seeing something fresh that you have never seen before and it’s a fun experience when you do it with someone else. Finally my favorite Idea, I would love to install camera in different parts of the world and project the film on to a whole wall as if you are able to go through the screen and be at that specific place. The reason why I believe that my museum can be successful is because living in New York City is like standing under a rainbow of different cultures and instead of closing our eyes we should open them and notice all the beautiful colors there are and the history behind each one.

  1. Nice idea Jewry- pretty innovative too, to think about going to a museum to watch through live feed cameras of other locations.

  2. One more thing- who is the audience? What would you do to attract people and who are you trying to attract?
