After Museums and Archives Management Basics students in-processed artifact loans, brainstormed their thematic arrangement, and hunted for supplemental photos, they continued to apply skills learned from their texts when they firmed up the exhibit storyline and plotted the layouts of 8 display cases (case 1-3 mockups shown here).
