Opened by former President George. H.W. Bush in 1996, the museum stands alone in Texas as the only museum to cover all American war conflicts. Created by a veterans association to honor veterans, the museum features artifacts, documents, flags, and clothing from the American Revolutionary War, The Spanish-American War, The Civil War, World War 1, World War 2, The Cold War, The Korean War, The Vietnam War, and so forth.

    What is the purpose of a museum or a historic site? On the surface, many would indicate that it is education. Through his monograph, Upon the Ruins of Slavery: Slavery, the President’s House at Independence National Historical Park, and Public Memory, Roger C. Aden argues that the purpose of a museum is much more complex than that, and it varies from person to person. He examined the various processes and problems that occur in the creation of a historical site. Specifically, Aden examines Independence National Historical Park.…

    Mitchell Museum Report

    I visited Mitchell Museum of the American Indian located at 3001 Central Street, Evanston, Illinois. Glancing through the outside of the museum, my impression was this is a pretty small building. I had a single story about the building; I thought I might have chosen the wrong museum to go to since it is small in size. However, as soon as I walked through the main door, I had a good feeling in a cozy building with full of American Indian artifacts, pottery, and native fashion. I was filled with more knowledge through the major regions of United States and Canada such as Woodland, Plains, Southwest, Northwest, and Arctic.…

    Employing the examples of the Anacostia Neighborhood Museum, the African American Museum of Philadelphia, and in the end the National Museum of African American History and Culture as well as other museums, such as Chicago’s DuSable Museum and the International Afro-American Museum highlight changes that happened in museums beginning in the 60’s and beyond. From Storefront to Monument by Andrea A. Burns looks closely at these museums created in storefronts, in predominantly black neighborhoods, as well as the people involved and discusses the triumphs and hardships black museums went through from their creation, especially in regards to their attempts to compete with other, better funded, institutions. Primarily, Burns focuses on the fact that black community leaders and “the African American museums that emerged during the 1960s and 1970s challenged and re-created new national memories and identities that incorporated the ideas, events, and objects, and places tied to black history” (Burns 4). Museums in the past were places…

    The Dallas Museum of Art was the complete opposite of what I imagined it to be like. Before attending the museum, I had very low expectations. When I thought of “art museum” I imagined dusty walls lined with undiverse and outdated art. I imagined a place old couples went to because they had nothing better to do with their time. A place where the past lingered and grew old as civilization quickly moved on and forgot about it.…

    Learning about the history of a place is a good way of bringing communities together through a shared understanding of the unique cultural identity heritage places give to an area. Areas where the heritage is understood and valued tend to be better looked after than those where heritage items have no link with the community. Such links help to foster civic responsibility and citizenship and contribute to everyone’s quality of life. Lacking of documentation management of heritage sites, the significance of an important site may not be recognised.…

    I was completely clueless about museums and didn't know what to make of them. I went online and read a little about the museum and found out that it was one of the top five museums in the country because of its cultural diversity and integrated urban population. The personnel gave me a brief tour of the museum and told me the museum does not hold gallery collections, but their exhibition is based on a periodic basis. The museum was also filled with visitors and their families, all engaged in a series of photo shoots.…

    Armistice Day saw a shift in how conflicts were memorialised. The sheer levels of death in World War One meant that remembrance was focussed on the dead themselves rather than the next generation to follow them. This was significant in shaping British identity because it was simultaneously pulled on inclusive language yet proved to be a marginalising force. Before World War One rituals of memorialisation focussed on the living; in this approach, the dead were significant as guides to aspire to. Memorials to the South African War and Scott's Antarctic exhibition reflect a construction of British identity centered around individuals actively contributing to its perpetual confirmation.…
