Sacred Places Project

This was the main project of my internship at The Children's Museum of Indianapolis. This project started in early September when Sacred Places first opened as a new exhibit to when it closed in early April. I loved working on this project because I got to do almost everything a museum could possibly do for an evaluation study, which I will detail below.

How I Contributed
