Maymont was the 100-acre country estate of Richmond-born financier James Henry Dooley and his wife Sallie May Dooley. Their opulent residence was completed in 1893. The Dooleys spent three decades filling its sumptuous interiors with treasures from around the world and establishing Maymont's magnificent gardens, landscape and architectural complex.

This lavishly illustrated and elegantly designed volume welcomes the reader into this spectacular estate, appealing to visitors as well as all those fascinated in the history and grandeur of the Gilded Age in America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is your museum struggling to entice and engage a millennial audience? In Museums and Millennials author Jackie Spainhour offers a new and innovative approach to attracting and retaining the interest of millennial patrons through an easy-to-implement and practical self-assessment based on the success (and failures!) of other museum programs. This book will help you start the process of reinventing your approach to this engaging generation by: Reimagining the millennial generatio, beginning with debunking myths about their wants, needs, and spending power. Giving museum professionals a place to begin their quest- through the lens of the acronym “A.U.R.A.” Checking your museum’s “A.U.R.A.” (Affordability, Uniqueness, Relevance, and Accessibility) to ensure the programming you are currently offering this generation meets their standards and aligns with your mission. Using your findings to create new programs and campaigns geared towards getting millennials inside your doors and keeping them there long-term. Offering program examples from museums of various sizes and scopes throughout the nation geared towards a millennial audience, with explanations of why some programs were more successful than others. Providing tips and tricks for reaching millennials where they are and on a small budget. Helping museum professionals begin the process of giving millennials a voice in museum programs designed for them. Suggesting a path towards success that begins with the millennial generation taking on roles as patrons, members, volunteers, donors, board representatives, part-time workers, and in senior management. Millennials want to be your partners in preservation. They want their voices heard and prefer a hands-on approach to their programming. The highlighted program examples in this work will help you reimagine how your facility is viewed by millennials, what practical changes can be made to persuade them to patronize your facility, and discuss how to create bonds which will last past the individual programs they attend and into the foreseeable future. Museums and Millennials features strategies used by museums of various backgrounds and budgets, advice from respected and data-driven consultants in the field, and offers action-oriented solutions to audience engagement issues. Let this book inspire you to try, or try again, to engage this coveted generation.

Download or read book The Ocean as a Creative Experience written by Juergen Claus and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-03-31 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book by artist, diver, and editor-in-chief of an underwater magazine Jürgen Claus is a milestone among the books dedicated to the planet sea. It is a knowledge-rich overview, created from facts and experiences, of three main themes that have never been described in context. Marine architectures from both the Pacific and Atlantic regions have now moved from vision to reality. Whether it is a sail-shaped architecture in Nouméa or a whale-shaped one in the Arctic region. Special attention is paid by Prof. Claus to post-disaster architecture. The book will encourage young readers to design metabolic buildings themselves. That the seascape has also become a fluid studio for visual artists may come as a surprise. The works of art, some of which the author has experienced first-hand, have intertwined with an ecological, sustainable way of working. And this is also true to a special degree for the sound artists. They realize their sonic worlds with recordings from the sounding world underwater, a concert hall of hitherto unknown dimensions. The author’s experience as a professor of media art with students flows into the description of multimedia or media-related ocean installations. Here the book becomes a stimulus for realizing one’s own experiences.

Download or read book The Dooleys of Richmond written by Mary Lynn Bayliss and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dooleys of Richmond is the biography of two generations of a dynamic and philanthropic immigrant family in the urban South. While most Irish Catholic immigrants who poured into the region in the nineteenth century were poor and illiterate, John and Sarah Dooley were affluent and well educated. They brought sophistication and capital to Virginia, where John established one of the largest hat manufacturing companies in the United States. Noted for their business acumen and community service, the Dooleys became leaders in business, education, culture, and politics in Virginia. A bellwether of the South during these tumultuous times, the Dooleys' fortunes would rise and fall and rise again. Mary Lynn Bayliss recounts the family’s history during their prosperous antebellum years, John and his sons’ service in the Confederate army, John’s exploits as leader of the Richmond Ambulance Committee, and the loss of the entire Dooley retail and manufacturing operations during the final days of the Civil War. After the war the Dooleys’ son James, a leading Richmond lawyer and philanthropist, devoted half a century to developing railroad networks across the United States, and became a key figure in the industrialization of the New South. He and his wife, Sallie, built Maymont, the famed Gilded Age estate that remains a major attraction in Richmond. The story of the Dooleys is a fascinating window on southern society and the people who shaped its grand and turbulent history.

Download or read book Beyond Utopia written by Agnes Nyilas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-25 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Megastructure proposals by the Japanese Metabolism group are commonly identified with the concept of utopia. Beyond this partial understanding, Agnes Nyilas suggests that rather than being merely utopian, the Megastructure of Metabolism represents a uniquely amalgam genre: the myth camouflaged as utopia. Although its Megastructure seemingly describes a desirable future condition as utopia does, it also comprises certain cultural images rooted in the collective (un)conscious of Japanese people, in accordance with the general interpretation of myth. The primary narrative of Beyond Utopia thus follows the gradual unfolding of the myth-like characteristics of its Megastructure. Myth is dealt here as an interdisciplinary subject in line with contemporary myth theories. After expounding the mechanism underlying the growing demand for a new myth in architecture (the origin of the myth), Part I discovers the formal characteristics of the Megastructure of Metabolism to give a hint of the real intention behind it. Based on this, Part II is a reexamination of their design methods, which aims to clarify the function of the myth and to suggest the meaning behind it. Finally, Part III deals with the subject matter of the myth by disclosing the meaning unfolding in the story, and suggests a new reading of Metabolism urban theory: as an attempt to reconsider the traditional Japanese space concept.
