Cultural Activity Report-Option 2: Create and Curate Your Own Art Museum

Visit a museum or art gallery before the end of Week 9. If you are unable to get to a museum or gallery within your area, then a “create your own museum” assignment can be completed in its place (see Option 2 details, below). The museum or gallery should have content that fits our course well. Here is some information about the museum visit in person:

Create and Curate Your Own Art Museum
For this paper, you will select and curate 510 works of art to include in your own art museum. Use the text and online sources to help you find these works of art. This assignment is an alternative option for visiting a museum or art gallery. After researching, answer the following questions by writing a 23 page report, 750800 words, that describes your experience.
Select 510 works of art from at least five artists from different time periods discussed in the text, the 18th century to modern times.
Provide a brief description of each piece and a picture if possible, explaining why you chose each piece.
Describe where and how you would display each piece, whether individually or grouped together.
Describe your role as museum founder and curator. Give your museum a name and a location.
