Dear Colleagues:

Does anyone know of any effective and creative exhibits on archaeology--past 
or present--that help visitors grasp archaeological concepts? That might 
also include sections within larger exhibits and activities in hands-on 
galleries, discovery rooms, etc.

I'm working with an organization in the mid-Atlantic region (USA), made up 
largely of archaeologists, to develop long term exhibits in their visitor 
center. We'd like very much to move beyond the text panel & artifact case 
approach. We've articulated a number of core concepts and methods and 
strategies to engage visitors.

Your recommendations will be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Dean
