Digital Exhibitions

Rio Grande Fish: Archaeology Superheroes!

The UNM Museum Studies Program challenged undergraduate students, in a Museum Exhibition Design and Development course, to create an online exhibition. Melanie Anderson’s project—based on my PhD work—was produced first. Melanie created a novel final product designed to engage children in how important the Rio Grande is as both a natural and cultural resource. I was the Exhibit Curator and Devorah Romanek taught the course and was Curator of Exhibits.
