I would definitely go with a designer, with the proviso that she/he works
closely with you and that together you arrive at a design that both looks
good and is true to and preferably enhances the messages you want people to
take away from your museum. When you recruit you need to look for someone
who seems open, interested in the content of the storylines and good
humoured. You must like them because you will be spending a lot of time,
and having the odd warm discussion, together!
