Student Exhibit Opening

Working with the OCHM staff, students in Taunton High School’s AP US History Class create their own exhibition, from idea to opening reception and beyond. They are given a topic, a budget, and a 5-week crash course addressing issues specific to a temporary museum exhibition, such as deadlines, installation requirements, evaluation, and curatorial and educational goals. Students select the objects, complete the historical research, design and install the exhibition, create and implement a public relations campaign, write interpretive labels, and host a public opening reception. On view in the first floor gallery, free with regular admission, come and see their work!
