- Abstract
The Carrie M. McLain Memorial Museum in Nome, Alaska, reopened in November 2017 following final installation of the exhibition Nome: Hub of Cultures and Communities across the Bering Strait. Over 70 community collaborators participated in interviews, shared stories, and contributed materials to a series of immersive displays that blend technology with hands-on interactives to inspire visitors and connect past and contemporary narratives from the Bering Strait. This article explores challenges and opportunities for engaging local communities and integrating multivocal dialogue into exhibit frameworks.
