An exercise using a past Smithsonian exhibition, in which I decided to to create a box of ephemera. I chose Beauty Rich and Rare, a collection of items and visual displays from Australia from a voyage with James Cook. This box includes an exhibition book, donation card, Australian bushfire awareness pamphlet, soap packaging, and custom tote bag.


collection of a blue box with flowers and script type that says beauty rich & rare, custom tote bag with a hand draw ship on it, small business card, magenta soap packaging with flowers, trifold pamphlet with 2020 Australian bushfire info on it and a koala, and an opened book with green and blue chapter 1 page pages 16 and 17 of chapter one that has photos from the exhibition featuring artwork from the natives of Australia chapter 4 spread; the left page is titled james cook and the right has a large white number 4, magenta flowers, greyscale cutout of james cook all on a blue background tan custom tote bag with a outline drawing of the HMS endeavor ship, a magenta soap box with pink flowers that says luxury handmade soap hydrangea classic series, a donation card with ornate white borders and a pink flower, the beauty rich and rare exhibition book, and australian bushfire relief pamphlet with a large grescale koala on the right side
