Hi Caitlin 

I am presently working on my 21st Children's Museum project around the USA
and there are so many factors to consider that it would take pages to
address.
Do You have "Collective Vision Starting and sustaining a children's
Museum"? I would definitely start there.

> Hello all!

>      I am currently interning for a children's discovery-type museum
where

> PROJECT 1:

>        This museum is contemplating a move to a historic building. This, 
> again, is a children's interactive museum so the move would require more 
> than just moving furniture and objects. A lot of the exhibits are built
to 
> fit the room and are part of the building itself. How could we move and 
> still manage to keep the integrity of the historic building? What other 
> factors should be taken into consideration for this move? The historic 
> building would require a lot of renovation but it would allow for free 
> rent and almost double the space. For this project I am putting together 
> pro's/con's on the move along with information and examples on historic 
> moves.

> PROJECT 2:
>
>      Our museum is interested in bringing in a highly technological 
> exhibit. Information on costs in comparison to a normal exhibit would be 
> very helpful. Our museum does rent some traveling exhibits, but usually 
> tends to build actual exhibits. (They also hope to create in the future a 
> traveling exhibit that could be rented out...) I am putting together a 
> pro/con sheet, examples of high tech exhibits, and a cost information 
> sheet. Any info that could contribute would be very helpful!
