My name is Colleen MacVeigh and I am The Museum Exhibitionist!

I'm a History major at Salem State University with a keen interest in museums studies and a passion for creating the prefect exhibition. I started this blog site to share my personal reviews with the public about the different Museums in the area and what experts are turning out in their current exhibitions to see if they are making it or breaking it in the museum world today.
