MS 235: Scripting the Exhibition Instructor: Karin Hostetter Price: $475 Dates: Jan 9 - Feb 2, 2012 Location: Online at www.museumclasses.org Description: So much to say and so little space in which to say it. That is the dilemma when scripting an exhibition. How do you say what needs to be said in the space available? How do you even figure out how to limit the information in the first place? Discover the value of themes, tangibles, intangibles, and universals in writing exhibit text that visitors really want to read – and remember. Additional resources provided on font size and colors as well as label layout. Logistics: Participants in Scripting the Exhibit work through sections on their own. Materials and resources include online literature, slide lectures and dialog between students and the instructor through online forums. Scripting the Exhibit runs four weeks.
