Practice Reading: Reading and Writing Fill in the Blanks ID: #6353 Museum
Instructions
The  best  way  to  experience  the  museum  is  from  the  top  floor  down.  One  emerges  from  the  elevators  into  a  spacious  hallway.  At  some  hours,  museum  staff  members  are  giving  small  hands-on    of  techniques  such  as  quillwork.  These  activities  take  place  near  wall  cases  filled  with  objects.  These  small  surveys  of  the  museums  vast  holdings  are  called  Windows  on  the  Collection.  Appearing  on  every  floor  in  the  halls  that    the  rotunda,  these  display  cases  serve  as  a  kind  of  visible  storage,  presenting  a  panoply  of  objects  and  materials.  Their  arrangements  are  artistic,  and  their  contents  perhaps    designed  to  jar  the  visitor.  For  example,  the  largest  case  on  the  fourth  floor  displays  animal  imagery  of  all  sorts.  Older    of  birds,  mammals  and  sea  creatures    alongside  witty  contemporary  works  such  as  Larry  Becks  version  of  a  Yupik  mask  made  of  rubber  tire  treads  and  metal  tools,  and  Jim  Schopperts  Walrus  Loves  Baby  Clams  mask.  Recently-made  ivory  carvings  challenge  the  common  distinction  between  so-called  authentic  fine  art  and  commodity  (a  distinction  which  may  be  passé  in  the  academic  world,  but  which  still  holds  strong  among  much  of  the  general  public).
