Event Information
Event description
CMEG’s First Collaboration with Chicago’s PechaKucha 20x20! The theme to the SIX presentations is “That Belongs in a Museum… Or Not”.
About this Event
As Indiana Jones declared about the Cross of Coronado, “That belongs in a museum!” What do you think deserves to be on exhibit? There are countless objects that could be put on display, but are there also items that shouldn’t be in a museum?
Join the Chicago Museum Exhibitors Group and PechaKucha to hear six presenters share their stories about objects that belong in a museum… or not.
*PechaKucha 20x20 is a simple presentation format where you show 20 images, each for 20 seconds. The images advance automatically and you talk along to the images.
