As Planet Earth approaches the year 2100, the last three years have become basically uninhabitable for the survival of human civilization. In the year 2097, news reporters have been breaking into shows live recorded on USB drives continuously to inform us that magma and volcanoes will erupt in three years time. In the past few days, volcanoes have been reported to have exploded and wipe out one-third of Asia’s population. In outer space, the sun’s gravitational pull has slowly increased and has increase volcano eruption and to create more volcanoes on Earth. The heat from the sun has also caused all four oceans to evaporate over the three-year span. The primary cause of this evaporation is massive amounts of lava flowing into the majority of rivers, oceans, and seas. On land, numerous earthquakes have damaged buildings, causing debris, and wiping out hundreds of people. On a daily basis, news commentators have wondered and been worried about Earth’s precious works of art, music, and literature. I, being a concerned citizen myself, have a great idea of restoring those prized possessions. Come 2100, I will have completed a spaceship in the shape and design of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Guggenheim Museum that will restore itself as a work and three other works: Girolamo Benzoni’s <i>History of the New World, </i>Handel’s <i>Messiah, </i>and Matthew Brady’s Civil War photography. This, I believe, will be an effective way to save the lives of people from the upper class of each race as well as restoring these four works for their entertainment.<!--more-->

On my museum spaceship that is a replica of Wright’s Guggenheim Museum, I will have three floors with one work per floor. These works will be in chronological order, starting with <i>History of the New World </i>on the bottom. The interior of my spaceship will be an exact replica of the famous museum, with the ramp and the Non-objective paintings that adjourn it. Each area of the museum will have a medium to long introductory sign on the left as people enter that has basic but lengthy information explaining the origins and early history of each work. On the walls of my spaceship, the paintings will be in the exact order as people remember them at the museum on Earth. To get to the museum, these wealthy people will take a recycled spaceship left over from NASA from their living platforms to the museum. At the front desk of the museum, a holographic version of a woman will greet you in every language that there was on Earth. For especially easy convenience, brochures will also be provided in people’s native languages. The entry way will be traditional as everybody will be entering on the first floor. Since all the tours will only allow thirty people at a time, there will be a reception room with coffee for people to drink while they wait for people to go to the next floor. The tour will conclude by having people be beamed from the top of the museum to their homeland platforms.

The exhibits that make up all three floors will be directly across from the entryway to the marvelous outer space. On the first floor, visitors’ travels will take them back to the remarkable journey that poor Italian explorer Girolamo Benzoni experienced. The visitors will gain insight to Benzoni’s journey as they will hear narrators read via audio segments of his memoir <i>History of the New World. </i>They will have the ability of experiencing Benzoni’s passionate journey to the New World as recorded in their native languages. During their visit to this exhibit, visitors will have the opportunity to see how Benzoni agreed to embark with foreign explorers and slaveholders on their New World voyage as well as experiencing the guilt he felt when capturing the slaves. Each audio station will be accompanied by a two to three sentence audio caption. Also, I will have Benzoni’s actual engraved woodcuts displayed with captions of what he was trying to engrave. There will also be a giant map with dots and dashes representing the journey that Benzoni embarked on when going to the New World from Europe to North America. My goal for this exhibit will be to give my museum spectators a visual and audio prospective of Girolamo Benzoni’s journey to the Americas from 1541 to 1556. Above all the visual and audio stations, I will have a large display case with pages from <i>History of the New World </i>open for viewing. In the overall exhibit, I hope my spectators gain insight into Benzoni’s remarkable journey over sixteen years along with the travel and hardships

The next floor will also consist of Non-objective paintings that will surround the next exhibit, which will be the beloved <i>Messiah </i>by George Fredric Handel. The first storytelling piece of music, or oratorio, will be performed by choirs that will be volunteering in shifts. This exhibit will be held in an auditorium half the size of a university or college lecture hall. This auditorium will have surround sound coming from the back so everybody can hear the singers clearly.   I will also, like the <i>Benzoni </i>exhibit, be providing headphones in many languages of choice that will give an introductory speech before the musical presentation. This method will ensure that people on the ship will have no communication breakdowns while enjoying this exhibit.

This speech will include how the oratorio was written in 1741 as a romantic-era composition that was based on the King James Bible written in 1611. Other information that will be provided will entail how this narrative musical piece is written in three parts that will explain the life, death, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Also, the recording will explain how Handel had played the <i>Messiah </i>until his death in 1759. What viewers have to look forward to besides the composition is an interactive quiz at the end. This quiz will be entertaining because, in the end, everybody will receive an infinite lifetime certificate as well as free prizes like candy. I can guarantee that everybody will be laughing and learning as they share the joyous offering has to offer as a very entertaining and unforgettable experience.

Unlike the first two exhibits, I will have the exhibit of Matthew Brady’s Civil War photography be less interactive. This exhibit will consist of Brady’s innovative Civil War photographs, which were the first photographs to portray horrific war images realistically, displayed in a semi-circle. These photos will also give credit to Alexander Gardner, who was the primary photographer of these photos. As an introductory station, I will have a series of letters displayed so spectators can diversify between methods of communication between soldiers and their families. Even before that, I will have an automated sensor that detects when people enter the room. When the sensor goes off, a brief introduction about the history of photography will start playing. What people can look forward to at the end is getting to take photographs of themselves in Union infantry attire. Like on the army bases, there will be a photo booth to take photos at. However, there will not be a photographer because a sensor will be installed at the booth. It is in my best interest to see that people on my museum ship have enjoyable experiences learning about photography, its origins, and how Brady was innovative in this discipline by stirring emotions visually among army families.

Frank Lloyd Wright’s design of the Guggenheim Museum is the ideal design of the museum ship because it restores a piece of history as well as providing unique transportation between all floors. The ramp is a great source of transportation between all floors, and is a memorable design that has provided the same concept on planet Earth. Based on its irregular design, I believe that my museum ship will totally be one of the outstanding fleets amongst the spaceships that are out there. I strongly argue for the preservation of this museum design because it is a great layout for the restoration of my three other preserved works. I think my spectators will admire how this museum is organized chronologically. As far as the paintings on the wall, I also plan on putting them in chronological order from the bottom of the ramp to the top. That way, the viewers can learn how Non-objective Art has transformed over time.

The mission of my museum will be to make sure that none of Earth’s precious jewels of art will be left behind. I will ensure high secure protection of all my works by installing technologically-advanced chips on the back of every single artifact. Because of these safety regulations, everybody can enjoy the comfort of this museum without having to worry about security threats. Having said, it is my obligation to fulfill a successful and fun-filled learning environment aboard this ship. I hope that this can be achieved by everyone and hope that I will have multiple visitors. This museum, I believe, will project an example of a great restoration that will feel at home as well as satisfy all spectators’ enjoyment in one or many ways because it will be a great remembrance of planet Earth!
