<p>OoH lA lA France</p><p>My collection, Ooh La La, is about French culture. My collection consists of food, art, and tourism. I chose to do stuff about France because I love that country, so I wanted to share it.<br /></p> <p>I want the people who see this to learn, or take away, more information about France I want them to be inspired by it. And maybe want to visit.</p><p><br /></p>

<p>This collection is about ancient Egypt. My exhibit is called “The Ancient Egypt Collection.” It is about the art, culture, and history of Ancient Egypt. I chose this theme because I have always been interested in this subject, and I don’t think  that there are many exhibits about it. I hope that any visitors to this exhibit enjoy themselves and learn more about Ancient Egypt.</p><p><br /></p>

<p>I like swim team because it’s fun to compete. When we win I feel happy and excited. I made an exhibit about swim team because it i something that is big in my life. </p> <p>What the visitor might not know about swim team is that it is less competitive during summer swim than winter swim. I would like visitors to feel the same excitement I felt when we won. </p>

<p>The amazing collection here at “The μουσείο (“Museum”) of Greek History” is just Greek pieces of art and things that show the amazingness of Ancient Greece. It shows the beautiful and non-beautiful parts of Greece and to me it is quite extraordinary. </p> <p>I have always loved Greek history and art which is why I wanted to create this museum, as well as to share Greece with everyone else. When people enter the museum I want them to be blow away by the history and character of the museum. When they leave I want the guests to take with them Ancient Greece. I want them to remember the excitement of Ancient Greece.</p>

<p>big museum of shoes</p> <p>My collection is about shoes through history. I chose this topic because shoes are very important. Without them Neil Armstrong could not walk on the moon and the US Team could not win the World Cup. </p> <p>I hope you learn all about different types of shoes, pros, cons, and interesting things about that type of shoe. I also hope you learn about the history of them, how they were created and about the person who wore them.</p>

<p>My collection is about my life as a dancer. I chose this theme because dancing has had a real and hard impact in my life. </p> <p>I have been dancing for eight years. Dancing helped me through hard times and decision making in my life. As a dancer people put so much pressure on you to remember the choreography and make sure it’s clean. </p> <p>Never give up and keep trying.</p>

<p>The Mewseum</p><p><br /></p><p>I have two cats. Cats, and pets in general, in my opinion, are highly under appreciated in public spaces.</p> <p>This exhibit is about this history of cats.</p> <p>People take it for granted taht cats are wide-spread throughout the world, but they actually have a rich and immersive migration and development story like our own, that is woefully uncovered.</p><p><br /></p>

<p>My collection is about different animal skulls. There is a bison skull, a pig skull, and cow skull.</p> <p>I chose my theme because bones are interesting and important. Also, I wanted to let people know about the inside of animal bodies. The reason why I chose skulls instead of other bones is because the head is the most important for all people and animals. Their protection is from the skull.</p> <p>I want my visitors to take away that the skulls are gross and even they have skulls.</p>
