Journey to the center of the Museum of the City of New York

During public schools' spring break, the ex lab group went on a trip to the Museum of the City of New York to see their exhibit pertaining to Henry Hudson and his voyage to New York. In addition to learning more about the history of Hudson's expedition to New York, we also examined how the exhibit was presented to gain inspiration for our own exhibit. I greatly enjoyed this visit because of the number of intriguing artifacts we saw (such as a riding spur that may have been Peter Stuyvesant's) as well as an amazing three-dimensional scaled map of Manhattan. In fact, we (momentarily) considered making a similar map of brooklyn or an area of brooklyn for our own exhibit! Fortunately, logic prevailed and we were convinced of the folly of attempting a project of that magnitude in addition to the significant amount of work remaining before our exhibit is remotely ready for presentation to the public.
