Making a Museum: How Museum Exhibits are Designed

Museums are full of really cool stuff, but how does a museum decide what things should be on display? This program explores the process of designing and installing a new exhibit for a museum. Participants will get to see firsthand the installation of a new exhibit at the museum and then try to design an exhibit of their own.

Beyond the Lines: What Old Maps Tell Us

People have been drawing maps for centuries to collect and share information. This program explores historical maps of Virginia and Culpeper from different periods in history. Through hands-on activities, participants will analyze several original maps and learn what they can tell us about the time in which they were drawn.
