Minnesota State University Mankato Importance of Museums Research Proposal

 

I’m studying for my Art class and need an explanation.

Review this content in preparation for  museum visit.

Draw upon the information presented and gather your research prior to embarking to the Minneapolis Institute of Art.

  • Write a brief proposal for your research topic. Include as many details as you think necessary, so I can give you suggestions.
  • From the readings, what did you learn and has your opinion of museums changed?
  • What have you personally seen on social-media or in the news concerning museums, and has it influenced you? 
  • What is your conclusion about the role museums play as public institutions? 

**Search MIA’s collection online prior to your visit: https://new.artsmia.org Research an artwork prior to going. You can compare this artwork to other discoveries you make while at the museum. Remember, part of your assignment is to document your visit by taking pictures.
