Museum Review: San Diego Museum of Man: Inuit Exhibit
For this assignment, I visited the San Diego Museum of Man. For several reasons, all personal and esthetic, I chose to visit and focus on the Inuit exhibit. The setting is really very fitting for the general subject matter of all of the exhibits in the building. In fact, the environment seems to develop in much the way as man has developed (as depicted) in this truly anthropological museum. Clearly, the curator has striven to give each exhibit itÂ’s own place in time in relation to others, but also to isolate it just enough architecturally from the rest of the museum so as to highlight the fact that it is genuinely unique. The overall effect is that one can truly feel like an immersive time-traveller in this museum.
