Student Exhibit - Thinking Outside the Treasure Chest September 23, 2008

This exhibit is the culmination of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee/MPM Museum Studies Class, a cooperative graduate program between UW-Milwaukee and the Museum. Treasure Chest looks at different definitions of “treasure,” and opens us up to the idea that value can be found in unexpected places and objects. Visitors will see a variety of artifacts, including a vest made of soda can pull tabs, a nineteenth-century German lithopane, Egyptian funerary figurines, and gemstones like amethyst and garnet.
