An Emerging Museum Professional with a Focus on Advocacy and Play

Wayne County, Indiana was once the gateway to the Western United States. As such, it has become a place with a rich history and culture since the founding of the state. As such, the Wayne County Historical Museum has grown its collection from small heirlooms and memorabilia to a sprawling museum with a large collection encompassing world culture, religion, and natural history. ​

​

In Spring of 2020, the Wayne County Historical Museum worked with my Museum Exhibit Design class to help propose different ways to showcase their collection and change four different exhibition spaces. My group was in charge of remodeling the space that was focused on Wayne County's religious history. In the following report, we proposed different ways to change the messaging in order to create a more holistic and accurate representation of Wayne County and its religious background.
