Abrahams 1 Nj Abrahams Prof. J White English 105 [Due Date] [Working Title] Museums are very important and common in our society. There is a museum or memorial for almost every culture, interest, or event in our history. The way that museums are looked at now is definitely not the same way that they were once looked at in the past. Museums first started as a way for high class individuals to preserve, protect, and show off their art collections. However, they have grown into an establishment with intent to entertain and educate entire populations, museums went from something only the wealthy can appreciate to something that everyone can appreciate. There is a museum for basically all possible interests that the average person would have. For example I take a huge interest in basketball and that is why the ideal museum for me would be the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. I was able to research and find out a lot about this topic by going to hoophall.com. In this essay, I will argue that museums should be evaluated using the following criteria: extensiveness of the collection, quality of the work, and which people are represented in the museum. 1) Explain how a museum should be evaluated. You can choose any “sub-set" of museum that you wish: modern art; science and technology; history (such as The American Museum of the American Indian, in New York City, or the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.); a museum that commemorates a particular event in history, such as the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor (now called the Pearl Harbor Memorial), or the most recent one, the 9/11 Memorial (in New York). How about the Smithsonian Institution? That one is part-museum, part-memorial, part working laboratory. It's amazing. We love our museums. You can pick one that is specific to the Southwest, or to a cultural heritage you are proud to be a member of. What you are evaluating is: How well-designed is this museum for patron/visitor use? How well funded is it? * Is this a museum that is actually used, or are all the displays just covered in dust, and nobody goes there because it's boring and irrelevant? Or is it in constant use, with a steady stream of visitors who enjoy their experience and learn from it, taking home memories or education? Explain.

All the museums, since their inception, have always included public education as part of
their mission along with research and preservation. School is a crucial component in every
museum's raison d'etre. Almost all the museums of America have come under rising pressure to
prioritize their role in the society as informal educators considering that they have gradually
come to rely much more heavily on funding from the government. Funding often needs
assessment for it to illustrate value for the success and money generated by the project to the
funder. Such assessment, in the museum field, occurs in the form of visitor studies, often called
evaluation. Usually, such museum evaluation presents how appealing a museum is to visitors.
The appeal is a determination of whether or not a visitor will interact with the exhibits. The
primary function evaluation is to, however, judge, to the most considerable extent possible, a
museum's communicative and educational capacity.
Now, a museum should be evaluated using the following criteria: extensiveness of the
collection, quality of the work, and which people are represented in the gallery. To begin with,
the extensiveness of a museum's collection represents its diversity. While some of the artifacts
may be from the American Art Collection, others may be from far-reachin...
