Assignment: Museum/Performance Report
Instructions
Visit a real or virtual museum of your own choosing OR attend a musical concert, dance presentation, or art exhibit. After the visit write a 500-800 word report about the visit and what you learned. The due date for this report is the end of Week 5 but you are free to submit it earlier should the opportunity present itself (any time during Weeks 1-5).
Students who are unable to visit a local museum or performance, etc. will find a rich resource of virtual museums online.

1. Name and location of museum (if you make an virtual visit, be sure to give the URL)
2. Type of museum (modern art, art history, military etc.)

4. What impressed you the most in the museum?
5. What did you learn at the museum?
6. Was there any one or group of items that was especially interesting? Why?
7. Discuss anything you have learned from the course material or discussions that you can relate to the museum.
8. How did the museum tap into your feelings or emotions, if at all? What does this tell you about the culture produced by humans?
