Summer Intern Council Exhibition Showcase

The Summer Intern Council, eight young professionals who worked across the Museum’s various departments these last couple months, will be presenting their work. Each intern will share information about their individual projects, curated to their personal interests. Not familiar with the interns yet? Take a look at #HollandMuseumIntern on either Facebook or Instagram to browse their roles, educational backgrounds, and hobbies.

In addition to their individual projects, the interns will discuss their collective effort to create the new lobby exhibit, Greetings from Holland, MI: Origins & Impact of the Local Post Office. The exhibit tells the story of Holland’s postal service, from its trying beginnings to the construction of its first federal building. The presentation will feature photos of the Museum building’s previous life as the postal office, and the interns will describe their process of pulling together artifacts and research.

For more information on Greetings from Holland, MI and to see a description of the exhibit in Spanish, visit the exhibition page.
