2. Presentation
My subject is London museums.
There are 2 types of museums
-> Art museums : they shelter paintings, sculptures and other original creations
of artists (like acoustic installations)
Most famous examples are the Royal academy of Arts and the National gallery
-> Other kinds of museums : they are interested in science, history, design, etc.
Subjects are numerous.
Most famous examples are the Science museum and the Design museum
The British museum is not the only one !
3. Why this subject?
I choose this subject because I'm very interested by culture.
I know I have gaps about Art and I want to acquire new knowedge.
I think it's very enriching to discover different forms of art, old and
new artists, current exhibitions, etc. But subjects are multiple so they
concern, they affect a lot of people and this work could teach me some
things about science, design, History, etc.
I wanted to choose the subject " The British Museum " but it was too
restrictive. I thought to British museums but it was too large. So I
chose London museums because it's a large theme but only in one city.
4. Public
I think this subject can interest a lot of people because it affects
a lot of themes :
People interested by Art can consult information about new
exhibitions.
But people who love History, Design, Sciences will find some
news concerning these domains.
This label can be enriching for many persons.
