Select a museum to visit. Possibilities include but are not limited to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Brooklyn Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, The Guggenheim Museum, The Frick Museum, The Whitney Museum, The Jewish Museum, The Museum of the American Indian, The American Museum of Natural History, Museum of the City of New York, Museum of the Moving Image.
Check their hours and location. And pay a visit to look around and get a sense of the scope and scale of the museum’s holdings. You can do this by checking a floor plan, looking at a museum brochure, or checking the web site.
(If you are unable to make a physical visit, do a virtual visit. Same instructions)
Then target ONE section of the museum for a focused visit. After looking at a series of works in this part of the museum, select TWO works that benefit from comparison to scrutinize. Take notes on these works. Make observations and connections. Draw inferences and tentative conclusions about them.
Then write up your visit by doing the following:
Provide an information page in which you explain the kind of museum you visited and provide a brief overview of its holdings—no more than one page.
Write a page about your experience of visiting the museum. What was it like for you to navigate the museum, to view some of the objects in its collection. Was this the first time to this museum? If not, how did it compare with other visits? Or with visits to other museums? Would you go back? Why or why not?
Write two pages in which you analyze and compare and contrast the works you selected for scrutiny. Describe these works carefully in as much detail as you can. You can provide information about them that you gained from reading any captions that appeared alongside them, or from research you did about them on the Internet or in print.
