Dear Colleagues:

We are planning a major new long-term exhibition.  Part of this planning
involves forecasting trends in visitation and exhibition technique.
 Recently, someone used the term "modern exhibition."  What does this mean?
 What is a state-of-the-art exhibit encompass?  What will this mean in 5 or
10 years?  Is the profession implying that the dramatic presentations of
ideas in exhibitions must be based on using  "gee-whiz" technology?

I welcome comments and suggestions for readings that I can share with my
planning team.
