Hi Cassie,
I think the Collections on the Move Blog of the Hearst Museum of
Anthropology just does it wonderfully right:
http://hearstmuseum.berkeley.edu/blog/collections-on-the-move
(although they seem to be swampt since March).
I remember a project some years ago that had a slightly different setup
but the same problem: to stay in contact with visitors throughout
closing time. They talked a local optician into letting them have two of
his showcases in the local pedestrian zone / main shopping street. There
they installed two objects from their collection every month with a
short text. Maybe you can find similar opportunities on campus and in town?
Oh, yeah, and here is how to say you are back in 2015 - with style ;-)
