<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>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>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>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>                                                                                                   Harriet R.

<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>

<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>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>
