Exhibit Category Guide for NHD (PDF)
Student Guides to NHD
An exhibit is a visual representation of a topic and its significance in history, much like a small museum exhibit. Labels and captions should be used creatively with visual images and objects to enhance the message of the exhibit.
The exhibit category is great for National History Day students who are visually creative and enjoy working with their hands.
