November 2018 E-Bulletin

Students play an important role here at the Museum. In their work as interns, they lead tours and educational programs, research the history of collection objects, and assist with various digital initiatives. They also curate exhibitions with the support of faculty and Museum staff. In November we celebrate current student-curated exhibitions, A Handheld History: Five Centuries of Medals from the Molinari Collection, Among Women, and 1968: Spring of Discontent (opening November 15). Be sure to join us on November 13, as student curators of A Handheld History, Amber Orosco '19, Stephen Pastoriza '19, and Ben Wu '18, lead a program with various scholars about medals and coins from antiquity to the present. Other exciting programs are listed below.

See you at the Museum!
