Salem Museum

May 7, 2021 by jeviadero

After working for much of the semester with Alex, we were finally able to fully launch out World War II exhibit. It took a decent amount of research and organization but, it came out in a way that we think visitors will greatly enjoy. Alex and I spent much of Friday cleaning up the cases and the floor area around them. We spent time getting the information on the walls level so everything looked as professional as it could be. We also made arrows for the floor to help direct people through the exhibit efficiently.

Much of my time going up to our launch day was spent labeling items in the exhibits and also doing some last minute research for Alex. These labels help provide a clearer understanding of some of the items in the cases. Understandably, some of the items are old or never get looked at anymore, so it helps people understand what they are. As attached to this post, my final write ups went on the wall next to my case to finish up out exhibit.
