This course is designed for medium to small museums that may be doing most of their interpretive exhibits "in house". It provides a strategy to help them develop cost effective and "successful" interpretive exhibits (Provoke, Relate, Reveal) based on interpretive objectives and interpretive theme development and illustration.
- Course Goals
- Understand and be able to utilize the Interpretive Exhibit Planning Outline
- Develop their skills in developing an interpretive exhibit plan
- Understand exhibit contracting needs, what should be in a Request for Proposal in selecting an exhibit planning and design firm
- Be able to conduct an exhibit interpretive communication evaluation (existing exhibits)
- Understand how to conduct an exhibit pre-post test evaluation before exhibit construction is finalized
- Understand that exhibits need to be cost effective - i.e. for a $20k exhibit project will you be able to document that you will receive, over the life of the exhibits, $20k in benefits?
- Be more involved and focused on the details of exhibit project management
You should complete this course with a general understanding of interpretive exhibit planning process. In four weeks we can not possibly cover every situation that one could encounter in interpretive exhibit planning, but we hope to give you the tools and resources to figure out issues that arise. The main goal of this course then is to introduce you to the most essential methodology and resources.
