National Women’s History Museum is my first choice. Because it allows virtual access, I chose the museum over other options. It was easy to use the virtual gallery because there weren’t any pick-up and drop-off requirements. The museum’s artwork was easy to view multiple times. This helped me increase my knowledge and recognition of the pieces. I was able to see multiple exhibits simultaneously and could also examine digitally-displayed pieces of art with no scheduling problems. I could also purchase art and share it online through the museum’s website. It was easy to navigate and had enough information for me to do my research. It took me as short as I could to locate and find the exhibitions and materials that I needed.
This museum aims to raise awareness of women who have played a significant role in the shaping of America. It achieves this mission through an innovative online presence that inspires, educates, impacts the future, empowers, and provides a unique perspective on American history. Additionally, the museum hopes to create a society that celebrates women’s achievements and helps them overcome any obstacles to their dreams. The exhibitions, including photographs of women standing for change, were evaluated by me. Another display shows the importance of women to ensure the success and efficacy of NASA’s activities for women. This virtual museum structure includes digital displays for many exhibits from the museum’s site, as well information about each of them. The website also contains other historical and culturally significant information.
I was intrigued by several of the individual exhibits. One display shows women who took part in Civil Rights Movement. The movement’s positive impacts provided more opportunities for economic mobility and social mobility to many African American families. The movement was able to provide resources to religious minorities and low-income women. Harriet Tubman was a vocal campaigner for African-American women’s rights. Tubman served as both a spy and medic for the Union Army during Civil War. He was also an guerilla combatant.
In the second photo of interest, women fight for political participation and vote rights. The women also advocated equality, empowerment and independence for women in society (Cahill 50). Because of their hard work, the women were able turn their home experiences into political declarations which earned them new public posts. I found the virtual tour educationally fascinating. This virtual tour combined education with fun, and it woke me up to the possibility of further study. It also inspired me to create materials that could be used in my future research. The virtual tour also allowed me to see the items from multiple perspectives.
