The latest traveling exhibit to visit us here at The Women’s Museum: An Institute for the Future is “Changing the Face of Power: Women in the U.S. Senate”. This exhibit comes to us from The Dolph Briscoe Center for American History at The University of Texas at Austin. It is currently on view in our second floor gallery.
The Women’s Museum will often host exhibits from other institutions like museums, universities, art galleries or non-profit educational groups. Sometimes these exhibits include detailed instructions for exhibit design and layout while others leave these decisions up to the hosting venue. With “Changing the Face of Power”, the Exhibits Department here at The Women’s Museum was free to design the layout of the exhibit. Exhibits Manager and Registrar Danielle Flores worked with our two Exhibits interns – Heather McMaster and Marlina Reese – to create a design, assemble temporary gallery walls and then install the show!
The Exhibits Team lays out the photographs before hanging them on the gallery walls.
