Earlier this summer, Gagarin hosted an exhibition design workshop for 32 students from the University of California, Davis. The workshop aimed to provide students with hands-on experience in exhibition design, foster collaboration, and allow them to engage with a real-world project that blends history, archaeology, and modern technology.
The students were buzzing afterwards with a real feeling of accomplishment and appreciative of the opportunity to collaborate with you. They will remember the experience well as they embark on their future careers. Tim McNeil, Prof. of design at UC Davis
Student Reflections
The students enthusiastically reflected on their experiences. They appreciated the opportunity to work on a project that has real-world implications and the potential to impact future visitors' understanding of Icelandic history. Several participants mentioned that this workshop was a great value to their academic experience, offering them insights and skills useful for their professional lives. They also admired how highly design is valued in Iceland and were inspired by the country's innovative approach to design.
