<p>Fruzeum</p><p>The theme for my museum is tropical fruit. I chose tropical fruit because I LOVEEEEEE mangoes and I wanted to add other fruits that were tropical. </p>
<p>I want visitors to learn to not judge fruits by how they look.</p>

Quentin T.
<p>My collection is about monsters created by people from ancient or modern times. One of my favorites is the monster Cthulhu. He has a head of a squid, a body of a human, and the wings of a dragon.</p>
<p>I chose the theme of monsters because first of all I thought it was cool (in a nerdy way). Another reason is that monsters tie in with different country’s histories.</p>
<p>I want my visitors to learn that monsters were created in stories and takes. Storytellers would use monsters in their stories to make them more interesting. Not only that, but humans have lived with fantasy and made up monsters from their imagination. Monsters have basically been living with us since humans had their own creativity.</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>

<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 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 Ocean's Art</p><p>The Wonders of the Ocean are amazing. That’s why I decided to create an exhibit about the animals inside the curiosity. The collection is about how animals and life in the ocean affect and engage us in ways that “wonder” humans. I chose this theme because learning about lives other than humans’ is how we could consider by “thinking outside the box.”</p>
<p>Today readers can take away the understanding of other lives and how hey can engage you in ways you might not have liked or imagined.</p>

<p>The theme of this installation is black and white.</p>
<p>This collection is about what you can do in art without the use of color. It is almost like a social experiment. I want to see how people react to popular art pieces without color. I want to see people react.</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>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>Tennis has been a sport for many years and has gotten more and more popular. Personally I love the sport and find it very fun and like a good exercise. I hope you find my collection entertaining while it shows many old historic photos of tennis then new modern day tennis. Through my exhibit I hope you learn something even if it is very simple.</p><p>My collection was based off my love and knowledge about tennis. It has many art pieces that have to do with tennis in some way. There are many themes to chose form so you may be wondering why I chose what I chose. <br /></p>
<p>Well, it was actually easy.</p>
<p>I thought of what I wanted people to know about it, but it had to be something I knew about. Next, I chose the topic then found some art. I wanted people to learn from my exhibit so I tried to make a theme that some may now know about. Overall I want my visitors to learn something about tennis even if it is that you use a racket to hit the ball over the net.</p><p> sincerely,<br /></p>

<p>My collection is about plants. In this collection you see lots of plants. You will see what plants need to survive: climate, amount of water, what kind of soil. You will also have a chance to see rare plants. <br /></p>

<p>A collection inspired by water. </p><p>My collection is about how water is used as inspiration for art. I was inspired to choose this theme because of Untitled No. 6 — the sculpture I made and our visit to the “Whistler in Watercolor” exhibit. <br /></p>
<p>I want visitors to take away that water is more than a necessity — it is something that you can learn from, grow with, and be inspired by. </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>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>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>
