My main area of interest in Museum Studies is aviation. Aviation history is a big part of that, and I got a chance to learn in an institution primarily dealing with it. I did my first internship this summer at the Aviation Museum of Kentucky, where I saw firsthand how an institution operated with the mission to educate and inspire using the history of aircraft.
Philip — it might be interesting to use your internship site as a case study for museum education and interpretation in aviation museums. Looking at the mission of your museum, how do you see education and interpretation being developed? Is it successful? You might also think about doing visitor studies/audience research. Looking forward to learning more!
