Exhibitions and Case Design: Integrating Preservation in
Planning
Presented by the
Thursday, December 6, 2007
Cosponsored and
hosted by the Chemical Heritage Foundation
About the Program
Viewers peering into
exhibit cases see displayed artifacts and objects but do not witness the long
planning and installation process that culminates in the finished exhibit. This
program will give your institution tools to ensure that your visitors see
safely mounted objects in a secure, controlled environment. Presenters,
who include exhibit designers, conservators, and fabricators, will discuss
exhibit development, best practices for collections care of objects on display,
and other preservation considerations when mounting exhibitions in
cases. Concepts presented will be applicable to a variety of small
and mid-size institutions.
The inclusion of
preventive conservation combines both preservation and aesthetic considerations
in the exhibit planning process. The selection of appropriate objects for
exhibition, choosing safe exhibit materials and isolation barriers, controlling
pollutants, creating optimal environmental conditions, and monitoring and
maintaining exhibits after installation will be defined and discussed. Case
studies will demonstrate the concepts presented and a speakers' panel will
address additional audience questions.
This program is intended for curators, librarians,
archivists, collection managers, exhibition designers, preparators,
conservators, and other staff who are involved in exhibition design and
installation in cultural institutions.
