In working with the Salem Museum this semester I have learned a lot about what goes into keeping a small local museum running. I have also sharped my skills in Exhibition Design, learning how to make a visual composition with text and image. There are so many drafts when it comes to making an exhibit its honestly mind boggling, but I have enjoyed every last minute of my experience. I hope that the skills that I have built with exhibition design and accessing objects will help me for future internships and even employment after graduation. This internship has helped me discover what I enjoy about working at a museum, in order to better help me understand what I would like to do after Roanoke College.
I really enjoyed creating this exhibit for Grace Smyth, including the little QR code for a bit of digital interaction.
