I recently finished up my internship at the Salem Museum, and it was a very sad time for me. I achieved the goals that I wanted to achieve, and learned a lot about what it is like to do museum work. I took on this internship because I wanted to explore the idea of this being a possible career for me. This internship has made it my #1 goal to do museum work after I graduate college do to the outstanding experience I had. I realized how much I had learned in my time working with Alex when I was making my own exhibit during my final days at the museum. Of course Tyler and other museum staff were there to help, but I felt confident in my skills to do research, use past perfect, and make a presentable exhibit. I really feel like I came along distance in my abilities to operate in a professional setting and the various different aspects needed in doing museum work, and it all came back to me while making the exhibit. It makes me feel sad that my time at the museum is ending, because going to my internship was my favorite part of the semester, so I hope that soon I can be back doing work in a museum.
This is my Exhibit on Mt. Regis as it neared completion.
