Explaining the significance of what is on display

Reference no: EM133582271

Question: One of the silver linings of the Covid pandemic was the proliferation of virtual museum exhibitions, with themes, objects, and didactics displayed in online spaces that we can navigate. These projects are still available for assessment, though, and that's what you'll do in this assignment.

This image below links to an online exhibition from the National Museum of American History. Take careful notes while navigating the exhibition. How has the curator organized the virtual space for your gaze and interaction? Is there information about the concept of the show or the individual works? Too much information or too little? Note where the curator seems to have put works in conversation with each other. Which works stand out, and which play supporting roles? Consider the design of the webpages, which have been carefully created for you to experience. Then, draft an exhibition review that includes the following elements:

A title that engages the reader
An opening paragraph that informs the reader on the premise of the show
An argument about the value of the exhibition as a whole (not just whether it is good or bad)
Body paragraphs explaining the significance of what is on display (What stands out and why? Are the objects telling a story? Are they rarely seen? etc); description of the virtual design and navigation; high points in the exhibition and weaker points (if there are any);
A conclusion that summarizes your evaluation
Make sure it is at least 250 words.
