Museums play a big role in deciding which art is valuable and important. While there are many ways to collect art, museums have the benefit of making it available to the public. This means that museums must very carefully consider the pieces that they include and display. Sometimes museums work with others to share their collections and will host a special exhibit of another museum’s collection.

Using the Internet, do some research on how museums choose what to exhibit. Of course, there are many different kinds of museums, so for this assignment, the focus should be on art museums. You can look at a museum’s decision to get a particular piece of art, create a special exhibition, or display an existing collection. You will use the presentation software of your choice (like Power Point) to create a presentation showing the history of this piece or exhibition. Your presentation should include:

The significance (importance) of the piece of art/exhibition
How the museum actually got the piece of art/exhibition
Who made the decision to get the piece of art/exhibition
How the piece of art/exhibition represents what the museum is all about
The cost of the piece/exhibition
Any challenges that there were in getting the piece/exhibition
Factors that needed to be considered when designing the display
At least one image of the piece of art or the exhibition
Make sure that your presentation is well organized and free of mechanical errors in spelling and punctuation.
