Lloyd on Lemmy Troma’s Lloyd Kaufman remembers Motörhead’s Lemmy Kilmister. The following Lemmy tribute was written by Lloyd Kaufman: writer, director, producer, co-founder and president of TROMA Entertainment for Girls and Corpses Magazine. December 30th, 2015 was my saddest birthday. It was my 70th birthday and I was with the Guna Indians in very remote San Blas Islands when the news of Lemmy Kilmister’s death reached me. The loss of Motörhead legend Lemmy, on December 28th, 2015, had a…

The Museum of Natural History on the University of Iowa campus is located in the McBride Hall on the Pentacrest of the university. I arrived at the museum on a Friday afternoon around 1p.m., the building was mostly empty and the exhibit was easily accessible. I have been going to the museum since I was a child because it was a favorite of my parents. The museum had always kept me busy for hours at a time exploring and looking for things that I have not seen before. Since becoming a student…

always been fond of museums. However, besides on the island of the Commonwealth of Dominica, I have never received the opportunity to experience or admire another country’s museum. As such, this opportunity has not only been to complete a history assignment with excellence, but, it has allowed me to cling to the museum as it is now my favorite place at the Grambling State University. Furthermore, such experience has granted me the long-awaited chance to embrace another country’s museum. Above…

I have had vast extremes when visiting art museums. I remember going to the Nelson Atkins Museum as a high school field trip. After getting off the bus we were greeted by a docent that led us through the museum stopping at paintings of his choice and telling us about that painting and his opinions on it. While passing past others with just a brief description of the artist and art. There was no interaction, as students we were quiet, we listened, and we were quite bored. We never got a chance to…

Museums are regulated and structured public bodies, governed by a code of practice and by international principles with national professional standards. Individually, they are self-regulated and governed by their own charter or charitable purposes. Collections, objects and artworks are therefore held within a clear framework of roles and obligations that generally state de-accessioning as undesirable and unethical. However, can there be exceptions to these clear and well established professional…

Alexis Huntsman Heather Haden Museum Paper Combined Analysis 03 December 2017 I visited the Cleveland Museum of Art with my wife on Sunday December 3rd around 12 pm. We spent about two hours at the museum. We did not see the travelling exhibit, only the museum’s permanent collection. The building itself is extremely exquisite. Each and every detail put into the building is a work of art in and of itself. During our visit, the museum had a workshop where you could create your own chinese…

Choosing only a single exhibit out of a whole museum is challenging, when faced with a challenged such as this I came to the conclusion that I will choose an exhibit that is similar to my interests. The National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) is an enormous building that has countless exhibits, the one that peeked my interest was the Musical Crossroads exhibit. Since NMAAHC is a recently opened museum, seeing the objects was a challenge, the rooms were packed and some…

Recently our class lectures, discussions, and readings have focused on the significance of material objects in life and in museums. We explored this topic in depth when we each created a personal “shoebox” exhibit, meant to accurately illustrate who we are. As soon as I began thinking about what objects constitute me, I felt overwhelmed. What could I possibly fit into one small shoebox that sums up all of me? I ended up putting tons of small items in my box, like an acorn to show how much I love…

can meddle up an art history timeline if a statue is not properly dated to the correct era. This is case the regarding the Piombino Apollo, a statue found at sea in 1832 with a complex history of study where it eventually made its way to the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The statue looks extremely archaic, like a kouros, but some more advanced stylistic evidence on the statue contradict the earlier claim regarding an archaic date and places it in a later Hellenistic one. The…
