Between the Spring of 1998 and Spring of 2000 two new exhibits have been added and three large-scale temporary exhibitions have been held. In the Spring of 2000 the Marie Eccles Caine Foundation supported nine interns. These students along with additional student staff completed five new exhibits, which opened on April 21, 2000. In July 2000 Professor David Lancy became the Museum Director. Students serve as the museum staff and under faculty supervision conduct the daily operation of the museum.
Students lead the tours, and they conduct the research, design, and construction of new exhibits.
They also work on many behind the scenes tasks including collection management, computerized catalog system, file management, gifts and loans, security, tour development, teaching packets, public school outreach, and developing and maintaining this web site.
