Research and Describe Cultural Experiences at a Museum

Essay Instructions:

Your assignment is to report on a "cultural experience" visit you make during THIS term. After each visit, write a 500-800 word report about the visit and what you learned.
Instructions
For your report, attend a venue from this list.
art museum or sculpture garden
significant or notable architectural site (if there is explanatory material there to help you understand it)
music concert
theater play
poetry reading or spoken word performance
dance performance
religious service, ceremony or ritual for a religion very different from yours, if you practice (for instance, if you are Christian, you may not go to another Christian denomination's service)
other displays or performances may be acceptable. Check with your instructor for approval beforehand.
Restrictions: The experience should be done in person. If this is impossible, contact the instructor to arrange for alternatives. You may not report on a cultural experience from prior to this class.
Your report should include the following information. Include photos or links that help convey the information. As always, be sure to document all sources you consult in preparing your work.
Name and location of the museum, site, or performance event. If there is on-line information about the site or performance, include a link.
Type of museum, site or event. For example, is it a portrait museum, a poetry slam, an outdoor Shakespeare festival performance? If you attended a performance, name the performer or the piece. Be specific about what you attended, when, and where.
Briefly describe the general setting.
Describe at least one aspect of the experience that you found especially interesting. For example, you might write about a particular work of art, cultural artifact, song, dance section, scene in a play, costumes or lighting, a particular actor or vocalist, etc. Explain what impressed you, and why. Your reaction can be positive or negative, as long as you offer an explanation.
Identify and use at least two things you've learned in class in your essay. For example, if you visit a museum discuss an artist you've learned about in the course, or tie your experience to a class discussion. You may also include observations you gained from assigned readings. It citing class readings be sure to use appropriate citation style, such as APA or MLA.
Reflect on the relevance--if any--of your experience to your everyday life. How did the experience engage your feelings or emotions, if at all? What does this tell you about human culture, or about yourself?

Cultural Experiences at a Museum
During this term, I had the chance of visiting Whitney Museum American Art in New York CITATION Smi17 \l 1033 (Smith, 2017). The museum is located in Manhattan. This was my second visit to a museum. I had visited a museum in my local city where I grew up a few years back, and therefore I had a lot of expectations. We arrived at the museum very early in the morning, when the museum attendants were still reporting to their places of work. In fact, we were among the first people to get into the museum. After paying the charges, the officer assigned us an attendant who would be taking us through the various items that existed in the museum.

The museum mainly contains the 20th and 21st Century American Art CITATION Iov15 \l 1033 (Iovine, 2015). It made the visit to be fascinating to me since I had not had access to the 20th Century Art that existed in America. There were so many paintings on the walls about various cultural aspects of America that I had not seen. There was this recreation of the Sculpture of Liberty that I was interested in. The statue looked really like the original sculpture of Liberty located in New York Harbor at Liberty Island. The statue is decorated with a variety of colors that makes it look more beautiful. The attendant explained to us that the sculpture was a symbol of the American freedom. It was also a sign of welcoming the immigrants from outside the country since it was donated to the United States by the people of France. It was also a reminder of dedication and being bold in everything that we do.
