Narrative• In this course, you are interns at a failing museum. Your task will be to learn about the

history of art in order to curate a museum exhibition and save the museum. To do this, Yavelberg, the museum director, will be providing some thematic insight into various cultures and time periods and you, as researchers will be sent back in time to discuss these themes with a character from each time period. Following this “trip,” you will be required to work with your intern group to discuss the aspects of that time period and choose works that you would like to integrate into your museum exhibition and respond to any prompts or challenges that the museum director may throw into your group’s path. To pass this course, you will need to level-up by completing the tasks provided and side tasks such as providing definitions, weblinks, asking questions, among other means.
