Salem Museum

April 29, 2021 by jeviadero

At this point in the culmination of all the research that Alex and I have done, it has finally come to putting the finishing touches on our exhibit. Alex let me take a whole cabinet (seen as attached) and put artifacts in it as a saw fit. I went for the souvenir theme that we had. I included items that were brought home from the war. I found things such as a Nazi dagger, Nazi helmet, and pamphlets that showed the way for soldiers around the town.

As Alex and I finished putting all the cases together, we began putting together our signs that we typed up. We have been going through and gluing the cardstock signs to foam core to mount them. I also have been finishing up the labels for the smaller items that visitors may not be able to identify. At the end of this week we should have everything put together and ready to open at the beginning of next week.
