In regard to listing the cast of characters responsible for the praise and or blame for how an exhibition turned out, here are a couple more thoughts. A credit panel at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago lists and thanks, among others, the visitors who participated in the formative evaluation of exhibit mock-ups during the development phase. The public TV station in Chicago WTTW made a film about the real nitty gritty of making of the "Africa" exhibition at the Field Museum of Natural History. The video was much more than just a fluffy piece of promotion. The longest, most complete (and interpretive) credit panel I've ever seen was at the Dickson Mounds Museum (Illinois) that listed the different consultants in detail who helped with dioramas, models and mounts, audio, video, research, writing, design, etc., etc.. It was more than just a list of names. It really communicated the breath and diversity of the skills involved. These three examples have more to do with letting visitors know who and what different kinds of skills it takes to make a whole exhibition, more than a single explanation of a technique like taxidermy (examples at Field Museum and many other places), kimono dyeing (in the current excellent show at the National Museum of Natural History, mentioned in regard to this topic), or exciting but limited audiences for educational programs (such as mentioned by KBaker earlier). --Beverly Serrell
