Dear Bill:
The following list is one we used for a handout at a session on exhibits for small budgets at a TX Assn of Museums Conference a few years back. It may be of help to you or others looking for traveling exhibits. Most of these are humanity related, but two that you might want to
check into are the annual Nikon Small World Competition exhibit (information below), and Johnson Space Center which also has a lot of panel exhibits, models and space suit exhibits (http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/pao/exhibits/).
We are also going to be traveling a small 2-d exhibit on the Peruvian Amazon in the near future. Thank you for the information on your exhibits.
