Product Overview
Many art appreciation instructors base their final grades not only on the quizzes and exams they give, but also on the report students make during a visit to their local museum.
The Second Edition of the Museum Journal provides a ready- made format for this assignment and now features two sections:1. A helpful checklist on how to prepare for a museum visit, including a list of what to bring to museum, a summary of what to look for and take note of while there, and a tally of the various forms of analysis.
2. An exploration of the many services a museum offers as part of the greater community through an in-depth look at several important regional museums across the United States.
