    Have you ever wondered what it is like to work in a museum? Curious about what it takes to put an exhibit together? What makes our Pikes Peak regional history unique? These questions are explored in the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum’s program, the Museum Experience, which invites citizens to become community curators.
    This innovative, hands-on program allows citizens to go behind closed doors and explore the Museum collection to participate in the start-to-finish process of creating a new exhibit. In a collaborative, small-group setting, community curators will work with Museum staff to select objects, do archival research, write labels, and create the exhibit layout in the community gallery.
    The scintillating topic to be explored in the upcoming Museum Experience exhibit is Crime and Punishment in the Pikes Peak Region. Working with Museum staff and retired investigator Dwight Haverkorn, community curators will delve into the unsolved mysteries and not-to-be-believed true stories of crime in 1860s-1940s Colorado Springs. Participants will work with photographs, artifacts, historic newspapers and even police evidence to “present their case” to the public. The deadline to register for the workshop, Crime and Punishment in the Pikes Peak Region, is October 1, 2011.
    Registration cost covers two full workshop days (October 8 and October 15 with an optional work day on October 22nd) and concludes with a celebratory exhibit opening reception at 5:30 pm on Saturday, October 29th. Cost is $125 for Museum Members and $150 for non-Members. For more information and registration, please email COSMuseum@springsgov.com, call us at 719-385-5990 or visit us at www.cspm.org or www.facebook.com/cspioneersmuseum.
