The Palestinian museum3/5/2019 My visit to the Palestinian museum was quite good. At first, we gathered at the main room and thought that was all of the the exhibit. But after seeing all of the art work, I was astonished. The variety of how people presented their thoughts into the articles work was interesting, although everything seemed sad to me after Saleh had introduced us the history behind it. The children’s drawings were especially surprising because most of them drew about the war and the cruel reality of it. Saleh’s talk provided me another perspective towards the conflict because of his identity.
It is very significant to have the Palestinian museum because it allows the public, especially the American public, to be educated and see from the other side’s point of view. I remember Mr.Saleh telling us about some people who never heard of Palestinian, or some Palestinian Americans being unfamiliar with their identities. So it is a good opportunity for them to learn more by watching the video clip and viewing the exhibit. The homework video gave me a basic understanding of the Palestine and Israel issue. Before watching it, I had almost no concept on what the issue is and the only thing I knew was Jerusalem. But now, I have learned much more than before. I really enjoyed some oil paintings. They looked so real that from a far distance they looked like photographies. They showed me how Palestine is without the destruction of the war, which made me pretty sad because the status quo.
