In June 2009, Johns Hopkins Museum Studies graduate students created a podcast series for Hillwood Estate, Museum and Gardens, as part of a two-week intensive seminar in Washington, DC. Students in the JHU Museum Studies program take 9 courses online and one 2-week session onsite, where they visit museums, meet high-level museum professionals, explore the latest issues in museum practice, and work in teams on a directed activity with a local museum.During the seminar, the directed activity involved a close collaboration between 16 students and Hillwood's administrators, curators, educators, gardeners, and other staff. The students explored, researched, and discovered Hillwood estate and gardens in order to understand its audiences, collections, and the history of its founder, Marjorie Merriweather Post.
