Hello all!

     I am currently interning for a children's discovery-type museum where 
I have been putting together info, examples, and a pro/con sheets on two 
separate projects. I am looking for feedback on where I could find 
information, who I can talk to, or where I could look for real life 
examples of similar situations.

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!

Thanks!
