Intern curator in the Ethno museum

This semester, I'm in a elective course called The Design and Formation of Museum Exhibition in the ethnology department. Students in the course all have a chance to plan an exhibition and the topic are not limited. From the start of the semester, my classmates were divided into groups and planned exhibitions different topics,such as Scout's patches, Logo designs, Traditional Chinese birthday theme, Instant noodles, Old glasses! My classmates are all very creative and planned amazing exhibition every week. And this week,it is our turn to plan the exhibition. We decided to plan a theme that matches ChengDa's 60th birthday. Our topic is The Ethnic Groups in Wenshan District in the Early Settlement Period. We collected information from an essay, and turned the maps in the essay into a 3D model. Also, we printed out some information for our audience to read. We spent all weekend on building our model and organizing information. What's more, our professor is very strict on the tidiness and the atmosphere. Therefore, we spent a lot of time checking important but easily ignore things such as the lights. I hope that everybody can learn something from our exhibition on the ethnic groups in Wenshan district. And I think being an intern curator in the museum is a very unique and once-in-a-lifetime experience!
