I'd love to hear the responses, too.

 

We've closed our doors as well, though we maintain visibility through
digital means (digital exhibitions, blog, Flickr, YouTube, Twitter,
Facebook, etc...).

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Closing in preparation for a move

 

Dear Colleagues-

The Utah Museum of Natural History is constructing a new building that
will open in 2011.  We plan to close our current building to the public
for a period of time before we open at our new site and are interested
to hear from other museums who have gone through this process.  How long
were you closed?  How did you maintain community visibility during the
period you were closed?  Did the period you were closed provide
sufficient time to move and prepare to open your new facility?  What
advantages and disadvantages did you discover to your approach?

Thanks in advance for your help.  Please feel free to respond to me
directly.

Lisa
