Your museum is interpreting its collection in the exhibitions you create.  Are you aware of the whole story?  Do you need to look deeper for a more complete interpretation of your artifacts, grounds, and/or buildings?  This course will teach you how to find and interpret the "rest of the story" to make your exhibitions more engaging.
