This thesis is situated within the context of an internship at the Faculty of Arts of KU Leuven. The primary objective of the internship was to develop a digital literary exhibition titled "Exposition Littérature & Télévision en Belgique" using the Omeka Classic software. The exhibition explores the intricate relationship between literature and television in French-speaking Belgium. The purpose of this thesis is to outline the various steps involved in creating the digital exhibition during the internship. Additionally, it provides an evaluation of the Omeka Classic software. Furthermore, the thesis delves into the broader concept of digital exhibition creation, considering the opportunities and challenges encountered throughout the internship. This exploration is based on the intern's firsthand experience, an extensive literature review, and interviews conducted with professionals in the field, as well as individuals with limited experience. The outcome of the internship and the thesis is the creation of the digital exhibition, which leads to the conclusion that Omeka Classic can be a valuable tool for constructing digital exhibitions, especially when it comes to metadata creation, despite certain limitations. These limitations primarily derive from the software's monolithic interface, which restricts curatorial options and poses challenges in creating interactive exhibitions. Nonetheless, the thesis underscores the educational significance of the internship experience.
