The final for Interpretive Exhibition Design is an exhibition proposal plus a comparison of exhibitions we visited during the semester using a 3D graph. The proposal is the Museum of Municipalities, a pop up museum about Brazilian cities to travel across Brazilian cities displaying its diversity to its fellow citizens. Here’s the final document:   Museum of Municipalities View [...]

  For this assignment we had to come up with a response to our visit to the Tenement Museum. This is a subject I’m very interested in, since I’m very engaged in making the Museum of Polish Immigration happen. So I decided to make a piece for it. What I really enjoy in the Tenement Museum is that there’s someone [...]

  For our midterm we had to choose two exhibitions and compare and contrast them. We chose the permanent exhibition of the Museum of Chinese in America and Cindy Sherman’s temporary exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art. Although very different, they share the same main theme: identity. Either as a group of people in a foreign country or as [...]

  Last class we had a chance to see the new exhibition from the American Museum of Natural History, “Creatures of Light”, first hand. It was a great experience to visit it with the one who envisioned it, for he gave gave a lot of insights on their goals when creating each exhibition. The task, now, is to comment it [...]

  So here is my final project for the Cabinets of Wonder class. This is a very important project for me, since it is something I want to bring to life. It is called the Museum of Polish Immigration, targeting more specifically the immigration of Poles to the south of Brazil. It began as my thesis in Architecture school, and [...]

  After visiting the Museum at Eldridge St Synagogue me and Fernanda went to The Tenement Museum. The first contact with it was the Museum Shop, where we need to buy tickets for the tours. It was different, but also nice, since a shop is never intimidating and an environment we are all very used too. The area where tickets [...]

  Last Monday (October 10th) I visited the Museum at Eldridge Street Synagogue. Getting there is really easy, but the museum entrance itself is not. It is located in the blurred boundary between Chinatown and Lower East Side, with its exact location leaning much more towards Chinatown, what may be a little bit misleading – I was unsure if this [...]

  This week’s (October 3rd) field trip subject is the Museum of Modern Art, visit plus participating in a gallery talk. Today was not my first visit to Moma, so I knew somewhat what to expect. The first impression of Moma is great – there’s a wonderful lobby, the position of the ticket booth and the entrance are very clear [...]

  On September  18th I went on the 3rd field trip, to the Museum of Natural History.  This was my second visit to the museum (the previous one was in 2007), so I already had an idea of what to expect. However, since this time I had specific goals, it was a different kind of visit. The entry on 81st [...]
