National Exhibit – SET UP, Days 3 and 4
The final days of set up for the National Exhibit mainly consisted of lighting, placing the artifacts, and placing the lettering decals to lable the designers work.
Placing all of the objects went smoothly. When we set up the exhibit in Indiana as a trial, a lot of the decisions about where objects and artifacts would go were made.

Student Exhibit – SET UP, Day 1
Sandy and Carrie made their way over to the Kafka House to find all of their lockers, crates and platforming in the room where the Student Exhibit will be presented. What had to get in place first was the floor. The floor consists of platforms that take up the footprint of the floor in the room, so things had to be rearranged in order to place the floor.

New continent, new languages, and new venue. We are so happy to finally be in Prague. The team made it here without a hitch, and woke up this morning to begin setting up both The National and Student Exhibits.
