Planning WAYYYY ahead...

I'd like to hear from museum people who've worked with their community in
developing exhibits -- planning content, creating messages, etc.  My aim is
to put together a session for AAM 2001 in St. Louis.  (The deadline for
submitting proposals is coming up quicker than we think.)

I'm especially interested in hearing real-life experiences -- what you
learned when you actually went out and started talking to people; what
practical, hands-on advice you gained from your experience -- rather than
philosophy or justification for the practice.

I'd like to keep this focused on exhibits, as opposed to education,
outreach, programming, audience development, etc.  -- all valid and
important, to be sure, but a little off-topic for my purposes.

Feel free to respond on-line or off.  Thanks in advance.
