There is a rich literature focusing on museums exhibitions. Don't over 
look books on exhibit evaluation, either. Here's a short biblio of basics 
I recommend. the AAM bookstore and Alta Mira Press are two other good 
sources for books. <www.aam-us.org>

McLean, Kathleen, "Planning for People in Museum Exhibitions" ASTC, 1993

AAM Reprints, "Exhibition Planning and Management: Reprints from NAME's 
Recent and Recommended", AAM 1992

Dean, David, "Museum Exhibition: Theory and Practice" Routledge, 1997

Caulton, Tim, "Hands-On Exhibitions: Managing Interactive Museums and 
Science Centres" Routledge, 1998

Taylor, Samuel, ed., "Try It! Improving Exhibits through Formative 
Evaluation" ASTC, 1992

Crane, Valerie, et al., "Informal Science Learning: What the Research says 
about Television, Science Museums, and Community Based Projects" Research 
Communications Ltd., 1994

Dierking, Lynn and Wendy Pollock, "Questioning Assumptions: An 
Introduction to Front-End Studies in Museums" ASTC, 1998

Diamond, Judy, "Practical Evaluation Guide:Tools for Museums and other 
Informal Settings" Alta Mira Press, 1999

Good luck,

P.S. This list does not reproduce HTML in either the digest or the 
archives. Posting in plain text is easier on those receipients. I stripped 
your original post of the html code in this message (I hope).
