SF-H1182 Honors Curators, Collections and Exhibits

We visit museums to be inspired. Museums have exhibits that face outward for the public, but inside curators and exhibit designers work to preserve collections and bring them to different communities. We will go behind the scenes at art, history, and science/natural history museums in Boston as well as other institutional collections to see how curators preserve artifacts of the natural world and the creations of people. We will also study how patrons experience their exhibits to understand the most compelling ways to present a coherent experience for the public. Each student will curate a collection of their own and present them in an online exhibit.
