Exhibition Design and Installation

Day 2: Exhibition Design is a Collaborative Process
Day 3: Content and Visitors Drive Exhibition Design
Day 4: Ideas Shape the Visitor Experience
Day 5: Design is a Verb
Day 6: Design is Communication
Field work, exhibition critique, the development of an exhibit layout, and a showcase provide you with opportunities to build exhibition planning and design skills.
