How a university seminar transformed 120 years of museum history into a public exhibit.
In short: Dr. Ann Brownlee and her students walk through an exhibition documenting the history of the University of Pennsylvania Museum. This tour highlights the curatorial process behind the installation and explores the institution's evolution over more than a century.
The exhibition, titled Penn in the World, serves as a retrospective of the museum's first twelve decades. Curated by Dr. Ann Brownlee alongside a group of nine students from the Halpern-Rogath Curatorial Seminar, the project provides a behind-the-scenes look at how academic research is translated into a public-facing display.
The video tour captures the collaborative effort of the seminar participants, detailing the specific stages of development required to bring the installation to life. It offers insight into the institutional legacy of the museum and the pedagogical approach used to organize such a comprehensive historical narrative.
