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.

Nice idea Jewry- pretty innovative too, to think about going to a museum to watch through live feed cameras of other locations.
ReplyDeleteOne more thing- who is the audience? What would you do to attract people and who are you trying to attract?
