I started my internship about two weeks ago at the Virginia Museum of Transportation. For the rest of the semester I will be working with the education department in the museum to organize programs for younger visitors as well as help improve the existing exhibits. The museum has galleries about automobiles, trains, and aviation. As the education intern, my job is to correlate these exhibits with the Virginia Standards of Learning.
These last two weeks have been filled with learning and meeting a lot of new people. Most of the people I have met are volunteers and just do it for the love of history, transportation, Roanoke, or even all three. I’m excited to see what this semester of interning has in store. I have already met great people who are teaching me a lot about the museum world.
