  • How is the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science doing ?

    Posted by admin on June 1st, 2010 and filed under museum | 1 Comment »

    I have been visiting its website and pictures on the internet, and it seems to be a nice museum. However, I would like the museum to have more things besides Mississippi / another museum that displays local, national, and international items in Mississippi in the future. Nevertheless, the MMNS is nice, and I would like to visit it in the future.

    The Mississippi Museum of Natural Science is great! The collection suits their mission. For other types of collections, try the Museum of Art, the Sports Hall of Fame, The U of M Museum, Delta Blues Museum, International Museum of Muslim Cultures, …

    What are the reviews for the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science in Jackson, Mississippi?

    Posted by admin on May 29th, 2010 and filed under museum | 1 Comment »

    I am planning to visit the museum in the future, but I want to know how some previous visitors enjoyed the institution. Nevertheless, I want to see the museum be bigger and with more exhibits in the future.

    Above is a link to, not the best, but good review.

    The above is a much better review. I would hurry over to see their special exibit. I saw a simular exibit in the Anchorage, Alaska Museum that was fantastic.

    Drive over to Vickburg to the battlefield site, there is a new, 2004, exibit of a Yankee Gunboat, sank by rebel forces and recently removed from the Mississippi River, very interesting.

    How to write a parabola from a museum admitions question?

    Posted by admin on May 23rd, 2010 and filed under museum | 3 Comments »

    Ok, here is the question…. A museum has an admission fee of $14 and averages 300 visitors per day. The museum board decides to raise the fee. Research indicates that for every $1 increase, there would be 10 fewer visitors per day. What admission fee would maximize the revenue?

    What im looking for is a complete answer with work written out, i am also wondering how make an equation for a porabola from the information given.

    x = amount to raise admission fee
    Revenue = (14+x)(300 – 10x) [That's fee times # of visitors]
    R = -10x^2 +160x +4200
    dR/dx = -20x +160 = 0 [Set dR/dx to 0 to find maximum
    -20x = -160
    x = 8
    So 14+8 = $22 admissin fee maximizes revenue

    BEN Stiller tries to save the National History Museum exhibits which come to life before they are packed off to storage in Washington. Amy Adams is rather splendid as his new sidekick in a drama that offers fun for all of the family. Worth five stars in crystal-clear DMR format at IMAX, Millennium Point, or four elsewhere.

    What is the best museum to visit in Berlin and why?

    Posted by admin on May 16th, 2010 and filed under museum | 3 Comments »

    I have a friend who is visiting Berlin and asked me where he should go. He wants the two absolute top ones. At least one should be an art museum.

    I would recommend the Pergamonmuseum and the Deutsches Historisches Museum.

    I visited them both and they are absolutely fascinating.

    The Pergamonmuseum has three different collections: the Antiquity Collection, where you can find the Pergamon Altar, which gave the museum its name, the Islamic Art Museum and the Middle East Museum.

    The Deutsches Historisches Museum shows the complete history of Germany.

    I’m not into art but there is the Nationalgalerie, which is separated into seven different museums. Art from the 19th to the 21th century can be seen there. Here are the links to the two most popular ones, so your friend can find out which one he likes best.

    Hope I was a little help!!

    How much time does it take to view Madam Tussade Museum in London?

    Posted by admin on May 13th, 2010 and filed under museum | 2 Comments »

    can any one please tell me hw much time does it take to view Madam Tussade Museum in London?
    I am also planning to view british museum,maritime and alber museum so does all these take more time?
    Tnks in advance.

    When I went there, I spent about 20-30 minutes of looking around. It’s a bit of fun for those who visit London. It depends on how busy it is; it may take longer to go from room to room if it very busy and if you don’t book in advance, it may be time consuming because you have to queue to get in.
