St. Labre Students Make Their Fall Visit to the Center

“I liked my experience from the trip to the Buffalo Bill Center of the West because of all the various activities that we got to participate in, and because of the variety of different exhibits the museums have to offer. For example, I liked going into the vaults. I was surprised to see how big the vaults were and how many objects were stored there. One of my favorite museums was the Draper Museum of Natural History. I really enjoyed the animals exhibits and how well it was displayed. The staff was very nice. They were open to questions we had about any exhibit. Even though the Buffalo Bill Center of the West is a big place, every bit of it is very interesting; I learned a lot. Overall, my experience at the museum was one to remember.”

“What a wonderful trip we had. Learning how to set up an exhibit was the highlight of my experience. It takes a lot of knowledge and dedication to care for collections and to educate the main public about collections. The behind the scenes of a museum is very fascinating. With the guidance of the Plains Indian Museum staff, we handled objects, learned how to care for objects, and exhibited objects. It was really a teamwork exercise and a team decision to define which objects we will put on display. I enjoyed the staff and hope to see them again.”
