(Wow and sorry Guy!), but even for less than half of the price you mentioned
($ 1,2 mio. for 6000 squ. feet) I would fly over from Europe and produce
(concept including production) the most serious, but also wonderful history
event exhibition with breathholding surprises for young and old people alike
ever seen in the region left and right of the Mississippi, in the quickest
and most professional way.

Peter, the wonderful Rebernik

Betreff: Re: Exhibit Renovation Costs


>>I am part of a regional history museum with exhibition space of
>>about 6,000 square feet.  We are planning a full gallery renovation,
>>and have received a commissioned conceptual plan for the design that
>>we are pleased with.  We are now in the next phase that involves
>>choosing a company to help construct the exhibit, which includes
>>designing the detailed layout and schematics, building walls and
>>cases, identifying and preparing graphics, designing exhibit mounts,
>>researching and writing label copy, interactive videos and dioramas,
>>and replacing wall and floor coverings.  We have one cost estimate
>>for the entire plan, but I am beginning the research phase of
>>costing the exhibit out. The question I pose to the listserv is:  Is
>>there an industry accepted "per square foot cost" for exhibits of
>>this size and nature?  I welcome suggestions from anyone who has
>>experience in this area.

>Square foot cost will vary substantially depending on the specifics

>plus as much as 25% of the total for design and mangement fees.  This
>would buy lots of interactives and very high quality throughout.
>Most exhibits don't run this high.  Yours might be in the $200 to
>$300 per square foot range.
