Dear Colleagues,
 
I am designing a temporary exhibit for the biannual convention of the denomination that runs my university. The denomination is celebrating the centennial of its first General Assembly. The general overseer wants me to include a full-scale replication of the first house in which the assembly met. I am considering several options all the way from the full reproduction to simply having a façade and a few interior walls.
 
Does anyone have any advice on installing replications of buildings inside exhibition halls? I would like to know about the technical aspects of construction including whether or not to put a ceiling on the rooms. I am also interested in how visitors interact with such reproductions. Do they tend to shy away from these structures or do they embrace them? I would appreciate any tips or stories you can share. Feel free to respond off the list if you like.
 
Thanks!
