Exhibits and Historical Sites
In this class, UWG partnered with the Atlanta History Center once more to instruct students on the importance of a properly planned and constructed exhibit. Students were separated into two groups and then assigned an exhibit within the Atlanta History Center to "improve upon". The student groups then presented their plans for the proposed improvements to the staff of the AHC. Click the links below to see my team's work on the exhibit Turning Point and other essays.

Each student went to a museum and reviewed the museum and its exhibits. I chose the Tellus Museum in Cartersville, GA, a museum that I found to be beautiful and fascinating.
