Behind the scenes

Have you ever wondered what it takes to put together an exhibition in a museum? “Tools of the Trade” provided museum visitors a glimpse into what goes on behind the scenes. Through interactive displays, visitors learned what archival materials are and why they are necessary, saw inside an art shipping crate, designed their own exhibition layout and wrote their own object labels.
