In
order to receive credit for this assignment, you are expected to produce a
document which justifies three to four hours’ work. The completion of these
exercises does not in itself guarantee you credit; it will be evaluated for
relevance and creativity. The following
questions will provide starting points for response or reaction to the Museum’s
exhibitions, displays and architecture.
You are not required to respond to all of the questions, and you may of
course incorporate other considerations not listed below. Potential submissions
include essays, poems, artwork, and/or other audio or visual creative
expressions.
