Over the past week at my internship, I have started to put together my exhibit. This will be a small exhibit in a display case near the entrance of the museum. To make this exhibit I will get to use all the skills I have learned over my time at the Salem Museum. I got to pick my theme for the exhibit and I chose an overview of local music history. Using objects from their archives I will be able to show some examples of music that was made here in Salem and how technologies have changed in recording technology. The first step was to search through the archives and look for objects I could use in the exhibit and what stories I could tell with them. The next step I have done was to start to write captions to pair with the objects. Over the next few weeks of wrapping up my internship, I will finish up and get to put up my display! I hope to show pictures of it in my next blog post!
