The Virtual Museum of Mennonite Clocks
The Virtual Museum of Mennonite Clocks is a multi-year project including the creation of an on-line museum featuring Mennonite timepieces. With the support of Kroeger Clocks Heritage Foundation, the website features videos, in-depth clock stories, a community-based blog, and an exhibit of Mennonite clocks. The creation of an online database is ongoing. Objectives include initial project conceptualization; brand development; project team assembly (including exhibition developers, researchers, editors, photographers, videographers, digital retouch specialists, consulting historians and conservationists); online museum website development and design; writing, editing and creative conceptualization; and art directing photography and videography.
