2016<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cWinterthur\u2019s Cabinet of Curiosities.\u201d A curated display at Winterthur Museum, Garden and Library. Project support and design assistance by Amy Marks Delaney and Nat Caccamo.<\/em><\/p>\n

As part of my internship with the Exhibitions team at Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library, I coordinated and curated a redevelopment of a large display case known in-house as the \u201cBow Window.\u201d This case is located in the museum\u2019s reception foyer, and typically contains more light-hearted displays than other gallery spaces.\u00a0 The existing display, titled What Is That?!<\/em>, was curated and installed by a student in 2011, and was long overdue for a change.\u00a0 The case is roughly 5.5 feet long by 5 feet high, and the moderate size allowed me to go through the whole exhibition process from inception to installation in a reasonable time frame. \u00a0I obtained a detailed checklist of tasks that needed to be accomplished, and took on a project management role. \u00a0 My supervisor and I\u00a0created a schedule, narrowed down a topic, and I refined the content and themes, selected objects from the Winterthur collection, consulted with the staff curators on object selection, consulted with conservation staff about the types of objects that could or could not be used in that particular case, and wrote label copy.<\/p>\n
