582 Words3 Pages

Margret Gallup 303 E. Baldwin 14/AHS/9th grade Beloved Community Essay Alpena might just be just another small run down town on a big vast map, but to me it is a gorgeous town full of character, and the opportunity to be great. Alpena is known for its parades, lakes, and beauty. However, there are many things that make Alpena less extraordinary. This includes lack of things to do and its lack of jobs. If you ask anyone for something to do in town they will most likely recommend the beach. This is not bad however, but it does not make Alpena a unique town. This is why Alpena should make a museum. Building a museum would make this community great for many reasons this, mostly includes, job opportunities. When my family and I moved to …show more content…

For instance, you would need a place to put it; the solution to that is all the old closed down places in Alpena. Alpena is filled with old shops and old restaurants that are no longer used; we could use the old Big Boy by the hospital. The Big Boy would make a great place to put a museum because of its location. The Big Boy is located on the lake, its view could add to the overall atmosphere of the museum. This however, is not the only problem for making a museum. A problem that is run into with any project is money. If the museum is not a government funded project the money has to come from somewhere. To fix this problem we could take a profit from selling the art. A few small percentages taken from the artists that sell their art work there would help out in a big way. We could also have an admission fee, or donation box to help with the money also. We could also start a fundraiser to help with some other expenses. In conclusion, to make Alpena a beloved community again I would build a museum. A museum is a good idea because it creates jobs, gives something for people to do, inspire people, and make Alpena better known. I think Alpena is more than another little run down town. I believe that Alpena can be a beautiful community, and that a museum can do just

The Orlando Museum of Art, also known as OMA, is a hub of Central Florida when it comes to pulling in remarkable works of art for the public eye to pay patronage to. Today I visited such a place for the annual Antiques Vintage and Garden Show, which took place between February 19th through the 21st. Included in the price of a ticket was also admission to The OMA’s current exhibitions, which included Women of Vision: National Geographic Photographers and their other running exhibits, which contained an array of work, ranging from Pre-Columbian sculptures to more contemporary works of the 21st century. The specific exhibit which held my interest most was the Pre-Columbian, Mesoamerican gallery titled “A Trek from North to South”, which was organized by geographic locations in Latin America.

I have never actually been in an art museum before so this was a little out of my comfort zone because of how awkwardly quiet it was, but nonetheless it was for homework (and I had to pay to get in) so I was going to try it out. When I first entered the museum, we started in the area with the artifacts of Native American’s, while these were very neat to see I continued on to look for the art. I was actually excited to see the art, which is very weird for me

It includes an Art gallery, History gallery and a Natural Science gallery. Walking up to the entrance of the museum, I noticed the museum is small but it had a sense of space surrounding it. The exterior had little decorations and the building has a simple but very geometric shape.
