The Levine museum of the new south - Noah Carpenter - Week 4

 


Week 4 on Monday I had a department meeting with everyone and they were talking about events they should do and who they should bring to it. It was cool seeing how the events are made from just an idea to a reality. After I got in touch with the Social media/ Marketing person and her name was Courtney. I was very excited to work with the social media team.


Tuesday

We had a call in the morning talking about what I will be doing. I was tasked to look at what content gen-z likes on TikTok, What history content is popular on TikTok, and what do other museum post. I started working on it and found that gen-z like more creative and different constant that stands out and of course comedy videos. I found that most popular videos were interactive tour videos and "did you know" content. Other big museums posted multiple times a week and usually it was tours or facts about items in there museum.

Wednesday 

In the morning I got onto a call with Courtney to talk about the assignment and told her about the trends and the museum content and she liked my ideas and said that when she did research that she found close to the same thing and that we could do those ideas

 Thursday 


 Thursday I was asked to come into the museum in the morning to help count money in the donations box which was fun and I got to go into the bank to check it in. After that I had my book reading at imaginOn which was amazing twenty plus kids showed up and they were all chill and listened well. They loved the crafts and the parents were all really cool and I enjoyed talking with them. Overall it was a really fun experience and everything went great.

Friday 

I had my big presentation with Alex and Franky which she was the boss and supervisor of everyone. We got onto a zoom call and I presented my slides about what I think they could do to have more younger people come into the museum. They liked the ideas and I said that they should expand on the youth voices and the social media that I already talked about with other staff members. I also suggested that they should work with a company called 704shops which is a street clothing brand for Charlotte that's I think gen-z would like more then the shirts they have now. Then they asked about my experience at DC and what we learned while we there. The end of the call Franky asked me has anything changed or have my  interest in museum heightened now? I told her that working with all of them have really humanized the staff because we don't really interact with museum staff besides when you first walk in and leave. I have definitely gotten more of in interest in museums after this with how everything is run and all the love and passion that goes into running it. I think that anyone my age should go in there and learn about the history of the place they are from because it was amazing and I learned so much from everyone.

Phillip & Patricia Frost Museum of Science - Angeline Alvarez, week 3

 Yesterday marked the end of my third week. I have no words to describe how awesome this week was. For the first time, I was exposed constantly to something that I am very passionate about: nature and animals. To explain what I did this week, I will explain the layout of the museum and the tasks that I did/helped. At the Frost Museum, we have five floors, each floor has a different exhibits and animals. This week I will focus on the animal side.  5th Floor We have the WetLab, which is a research room, where we grow corals and test the conditions of every tank in the museum. In here I spent some time helping Natalia feed the Pilar Corals, which are extinct in the wild.  4th Floor  On this floor we can find "The Vista", which is a combination of various marine habitats. We have an aviary, which focuses on the beach and mangrove habitats with different fish like tarpon, and birds like spoonbills. There is also a Stingray touch exhibit and the Gulf Stream exhibit, in whe...

  Week #1 - Internship Blog Museum of History, Anthropology, and Art of the University of Puerto Rico by Andrea Mercado-Cruz (YAP 2024) This was my first week working at the Museo de Historia, Antropología y Arte (Museo UPRRP) in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico! So far, it has been a fantastic experience, allowing me to engage in various activities at the museum and see the behind-the-scenes of museum operations. To begin with, I had the opportunity to research different artworks in the museum's exhibit, "24 años de donaciones al museo." On Monday, my lovely supervisor, Lisa, gave me a tour and explained the history behind some of the pieces, enhancing my knowledge of Puerto Rican history and culture. During the tour, she suggested I focus on four specific works ranging from paintings and wood prints to posters and artifacts. These four works will be the focus of the short paper I'm writing about the artistic representation of Puerto Rican nationalism and colonialism in the...

El Paso Museum of History -Jimena Huante -Week 3

This past week has been incredibly eventful, offering a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the diverse range of community events. The week kicked off with the dynamic Beat Builders DJ summer camp, where the campers delved into the art of DJing against the backdrop of our Musica sin Fronteras exhibit. I had the privilege of preparing for the campers' arrival and being fully immersed in the camp's activities throughout its duration. The highlight for many was the presence of the renowned DJ Johnny Kage, a familiar face in El Paso's DJ scene. His expertise and amiable personality left a lasting impression on all of us. It was fascinating to hear about his journey, which began at the young age of 15 in Ciudad Juarez, where he honed his skills using records cassettes and CDs. The camp also provided an opportunity to explore the origins of House, Techno, and Disco music, shedding light on their historical significance. The week also included an exclusive preview of La Nube...
