2023-2024 Partnership
Kent Museum
13689 Turners Creek Rd, Kennedyville, MD
The fifth local partnership of the DSMP project is between Kent Museum and Washington College. Located near Turner's Creek in historic Kennedyville, Kent Museum houses a collection of artifacts, equipment and machinery related to the region's agricultural history.
The first phase of this project was supported by a fellowship from the Rose O'Neill Literary House in which student Digital Imaging Consultants working in Washington College's Virtual/Augmented Reality Digital Imaging Studio (VARDIS) were able to prepare exhibits and 360-photograph the museum for a virtual tour.
Stay tuned for future developments in this collaboration!
Interactive Exhibit Panels
Students in Dr. Sara Clarke-De Reza's Spring 2023 Designing and Measuring Learning Experiences used the museum's digital materials, oral history interviews and research from local historians to design the exhibit panels below. Printed versions of these panels will serve as the basis of a traveling exhibit aimed at K-12 students, while interactive virtual versionslink viewers back to oral history clips, 3D models, and other digital museum objects.
