YTHPR5166 - Making a Museum

Course Description

What makes a museum work? How do we know that the artifacts in a museum are real? What makes an effective exhibit? Find out all this and more at the Night at the Museum Camp!! We will delve into museum studies and watch it come alive. Our discussions will include authenticity of artifacts, effective layouts, and the people who make the museums work. We will look at museums all over the world, ranging from the classical to the modern. Throughout the week, campers will have the opportunity to research and design their own exhibit, culminating with the creation of a model exhibit! Come join in all the fun!
