Behind the Scenes: Spring 2023 Introduction to the Business of Museums
Each of the 12 students in the Spring 2023 Introduction to the Business of Museums course at Mississippi State University learned about different careers in museums by actually stepping into a professional position found in museums today. During the semester-long assignment, students worked in the Lois Dowdle Cobb Museum of Archaeology to update the layout, displays, and text panels. At the end of the semester they successfully launched a new exhibition and hosted a public reception in the museum.
