Museum Planning

Description

This mini-workshop gives students a chance to make their own exhibition. Using object trading cards based on our current exhibition, students have to trade objects, write an exhibition thesis, and create connections between objects. The mini-workshop ends with students mapping their exhibitions and sharing-out to the group.

It is suggested that this program is paired with a guided tour of the museum (which takes 45 minutes). This program is available on a first-come-first-served basis. Can be booked for Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday.
