The Octagon, the museum of the American Architectural Foundation, is a small historic house and architecture museum.  We produce our own traveling exhibitions.  They are mostly reproduction exhibitions on a panel system.  The exhibitions travel to museums, libraries, and other public places (they are low security).  We currently use a panel system made of metal rods that can be easily assembled and disassembled.  The metal stand holds a 7' x 3' foot panel, which is basically a very large photograph.  It travels incredibly well, requires low maintenance, can be shipped either UPS or FedEx, and comes in a very sturdy, wheeled container.

Here is a listing of databases for traveling exhibitions.  Some are free and others require a fee for listing.  Good luck!
