It was on Thursday, March 14, 2018, which remains memorable to me. It was a visit to the Molaa Museum of Latin American Art. The Museum was founded in 1996, along with the Beach of California, and it provides services to the great region of Los Angeles. It is one of the art museums located in the United States, and it has a Latin American collection of art.
The museum is completely full of art, dating over 100 years, and represents Latin America. Most collections are in the form of drawings, sculptures, paintings, mixed media, photography, and video art. It has collections of human revolution, art, technology, and scientific evolution in Latin America. There are collections from Latin American artists such as Pajaro, Marco Maggi, Dario Escobar, and Liliana Porter. It also has a sculpture garden where various sculptures from Latin America are located, as well as good and bad sculptures, ugly sculptures, Loteria, and Whims and Absurdities sculptures. However, each of the collections of sculptures represents a unique revolution in Latin American arts.
However, the collections at the Molaa Museum are very educative, and by looking at the collections, one can learn how the past connects with the future. The collection provides a brief reflection on the historical journal of Latin America. It also allows someone to learn the culture that made the art and provide a reflection on other cultures as well. Above all, viewing the collection allows me to learn about the journal of Latin America and the importance of each step in history. The collections from the museum can be used for different classes of study. The collections are more appropriate for grade eight, ten, and even college students (Molaa 2).
Visiting the museum helps students to understand the historical perspective of life. Students get an opportunity to learn about the history of their country, background information, and culture and discover how they can relate to the history of life (Doyne 12). It is important to note that visiting the museum helps students gain a broad understanding of their past and connect with their current lives. A Museum is also a place where students can spark interest in history, art, and other subjects, and therefore, it is important for students to take time off to visit any relevant museum. However, during my visit to the museum, there was also an exhibition of Nuna Mangiante going on at the Molaa Museum, which attracted a sizeable amount of attention since it was one of the kinds to take place after a long time. It is, therefore, evident that a visit to the museum also provides a platform to interconnect and learn from other students.
Molaa Museum provides various support to students and teachers who visit the museum. The museum has a tour guide who offers a detailed explanation of various events and collections at the museum. It also offers discounts on tickets for students of a certain number. The museum offers a total of ten percent discounts for more than fifty students and fifteen percent discounts for more than one hundred students. However, when students visit the museum, Molaa has guidelines and other literature materials for teachers, which it offers for free so that teachers can use them to provide more detailed information to students. Molaa Museum is a good museum for school-age children because the collections are well painted with good colors and arts of humor, which can be educative to school-age children. It can help students to learn about the collection of colors very well. Most arts are in bright colors, fully sculptures, and most collections are not scary, which can provoke kids, and therefore, it is a good place for school-age children.
In conclusion, the Molaa Museum is one of the best Latin American art museums, and it was established in the United States. It has a good collection of art that represents the history or the past of the people of Latin America.
