Now there are several big national art museums in Paris. The oldest and largest and most famous is the Louvre. It houses art up till about 1800. The 19th century collection is in the Musée d'Orsay. 20th century art is in the National Museum of Modern Art, housed in the Centre Pompidou.

The person in charge of a gallery is typically known as an "Exhibitioner," because a gallery is where art is "exhibited."

The Tate Modern is located in the Bankside Power Station built by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. This original building was converted to the Tate Modern by Herzog and De Meuron.

The first Georgia O'Keeffe exhibition was at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1943.

Well, museums have importance for people who enjoy history, or who are very interested in one particular subject. There are Art museums, Railroad museums, dollhouse museums, and museums devoted to history, or the history of a certain area. There are many, many other types as well.

For people who love paintings by very popular artists, but are too poor to buy a painting, Art museums are probably the only chance they will have to see an original... Picasso, for example.

Museums are a popular tourist activity. When you go to a new state or a new country, seeing some of the history pictured or described at a museum is interesting and even fun. I have been to visit a couple of large dams, and seeing the historical information about how the dams were built was fascinating to me.

That said, obviously all museums aren't going to appeal to all people. There are as many types of museums as there are interests, and so... if you like cars, you could go to a car museum. :) If you like sports, you could go to a sports museum (could be called a hall of fame). If you like books, you could go to the library... or, er... many museums display old books and documents. :)

Answer 2: I actually love museums especially when you travel out of your own area. Museums are a treasure trove of history and culture. In Awake magazine 3/8/05 it says in Washington, DC without a doubt, the preeminent center of interest for visitors is the Smithsonian Institution. Because it is not merely one museum-it is a whole collection of museums and centers of knowledge. According to one travel guide the most popular of the Smithsonian facilities is the National Air and Space Museum- the most visited in the world. It has 23 extensive galleries and its exhibits, many hanging from the ceiling, illustrate the history of flight. On display is the Flyer, the very airplane that Orville Wright used for his historic flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, in 1903. Nearby is Charles Lindberg's Spirit of St Louis. Interested in bank notes-the Bureau of engraving and statistics is walking distance away. Over $140 billion worth of money is printed here each year. Nextdoor is the Holocaust Museum, and the National Museum of the American Indian. I visited the Louvre in Paris which is rated second in the world and got to see the tiny, yet amazing Mona Lisa and the Moabite Stone. A week later in Spain I visited the Picasso museum. These are things you read about and the amazing history contained in them, but when you actually get to visit and see for yourself, you are in AWE!!!!! Plan a museum trip, you will not regret it.

A guy named James Smithson (who actually never set foot in the U.S; he lived in France) wrote in a will that his nephew was to have 500,000 with the idea that he would pass it on to his children and so forth. If the nephew never had children the U.S. got the money. James Smithson died three years later, and his nephew died six years later without any children. Then the U.S. got the money and built a museum named after Smithson. No one knows why James Smithson wrote the money to the U.S.

James Smithson, a British subject, who died in 1829 willed his family fortune for the establishment of an organization in the United States dedicated to education and learning. James smithson had never visited the united States before his death. Congress spent Smithson's money on general ledger expenses, but 20 years later, in 1849, Congress replenished the money and dedicated the resulting organization to James by naming it the Smithsonian Institution.

A lot of Dada art tends to be very nonsensical. Some will argue that "Dada" means "hobbyhorse" in French. However, "Dada" was more likely just recognized as baby talk, or something a baby might say. It was the name that made the least amount of sense, which was perfect because that is a Dada characteristic.
