According to Lisa Brochu's Interpretive Planning, the 5-M Model for Successful Planning Projects (2003), the recommendation is around $300 per square foot for a good mixture of exhibit techniques (flat panels and high-tech interactives) with an additional 30% for design. That being said, wouldn't it be nice to have that kind of money? I'd be happy to talk to you off-list about some of our recent exhibits and the associated expenses.
