Kansas has many stories to tell to those who want to learn about them. Of the many places to learn about the stories that took place in Kansas, the High Plains Museum, in Goodland, Kansas, offers exhibits on the prairie life and the life of a Kansas homesteader. In all the exhibits to see, however, the Pioneer exhibit, the Dust Bowl Years exhibit, and the Purvis and Wilson helicopter exhibit make this museum particularly interesting. In the Pioneer exhibit, the patron can walk down a small wooden plank sidewalk with a few business displays on both sides where the patron can look into each window and see examples of businesses, like an optometrist’s office and a doll shop, that include something a person would see during the 1800s era.

In a display along the wall to the left of a house-like display, behind the small, white picket fence, of items the patron would typically see in a 1930s era home that include an antique sewing machine table and an old phonograph player. On the wall above this display has some old black and white photos taken during that era that capture the hardships the people faced such as the farming difficulties and the breathing difficulties, the black cloud of dust rolling into town, and the great sadness in the aftermath when the dust finally settled, showing everything buried in a blanket of dirt. The house-like display consists of a typical 1930s living room that include such items as family heirlooms and family photos. The museum patron can walk up onto the porch and go in the front door as if walking into the house itself. Upon stepping inside, the patron will see things like old photos, a rocking chair, a couch, and a desk. He will also see an antique 1930’s style radio on the table by a chair and hear it playing the 1930s era radio programs, songs, and news reports. The Purvis and Wilson helicopter exhibit offers the full-sized replica of the first patented helicopter in the world and includes an automated feature. While looking at the helicopter from above on the main floor, the patron will read the brief history display of the helicopter. When the patron pushes and holds the button with the display description, the two wings on top of the helicopter will slowly spin. The patron can also walk down the short flight of stairs to the pit-like area to have a more up close and personal view of the helicopter that stands within its own historical awe and mechanical

I am sending you this letter to present you with my proposal for a new museum, that I believe will be revolutionary. It will be called the Vice Cherokee Museum. The Cherokee culture is fascinating and very vast, but unfortunately not well represented. I think our community will greatly benefit from gaining knowledge of whom the Cherokees are and what their people have been through. There is a great ignorance when it comes to the knowledge of Cherokee culture and this museum will be built in hopes of improving this problem.

As visitors from all over the world come to Expo 17’, it is important to prove that Canada is a diverse and accepting country.
On July 22, 2017 I had the pleasure of going to the Sid Richardson museum in downtown Fort Worth, Texas with my sister. The museum was founded in 1982 and features western paintings by Frederic Remington and Charles M. Russell. All of the paintings are from the man the museum was named after, Sid Richardson 's, own personal collection. One of the main reasons I decided to go to the museum was because I had never heard about it before even though I have lived in Fort Worth my whole life and have been to almost all the museums in the area. I also wanted to observe the different kinds of people that would be at the museum and see how they viewed the paintings.

On October 10th, I visited the Palmer Museum of Art and made an observation on how this space is being used. I walked to the museum at 3:00 P.M. and did not anticipate many visitors there because it was a homecoming weekend. At first, I expected less than ten people would visit the museum. However, there were around fifteen to twenty people there. Most of them were adults, but some of them were teenagers who seem to stop by after the football game.
The MOT has been criticized for its heavy reliance on new technology. Fiona Cameron explores concerns amongst members of the museum community who fear that with the increasing emphasis on new technology in museums, physical objects, which have long been the focus of these cultural institutions, will lose their significance. The MOT does hold a small collection of historical artefacts from the Holocaust, including a range of objects from concentration camps (prisoners’ clothing, bunk beds, etc.) and even letters by Anne Frank. These are displayed in glass cabinets on the upper floor of the museum, where visitors are led after their tour of the Tolerancenter downstairs.
