Are you in charge of exhibits for a small museum, nature center or zoo? The New England Aquarium is looking for potential partners for two major grants we are writing. For both grants we are looking for smaller institutions, ones that have not frequently (or ever) rented traveling exhibits. Institutions must be non-profit, and ideally reach audiences not served by larger institutions. Partner institutions will be involved in exhibit planning and will receive traveling exhibits, with the costs largely underwritten by the grants. The first grant will produce a traveling exhibit about the Aquarius Undersea Habitat an under water research station run by NOAA. The main part of the exhibit would be a recreation of the habitat, built on a flatbed trailer. Since it would be a mobile, self-contained, outdoor exhibit, we hope to tour institutions that do not have space for large indoor special exhibits. The second grant would underwrite a series of small traveling exhibits produced in collaboration with Gulf of Maine institutions interested in aquatic ecological issues. Partner institutions would meet to decide exhibit priorities and logistical issues. Exhibits would range from table-top size up to about 200 square feet. If you are interested, please get in touch with me at the e-mail address below, and I will add you name to our mailing list to receive further information.
