Cultural Resource Management Program
Fall 1995 at the University of Victoria, Canada

Registration has now begun for our September "Exhibition Design and
Installation" course.

Course Description
------------------
Effective exhibition design enables museums to communicate with their
publics and provides a creative, safe and meaningful context in which
objects can be studied and enjoyed. This intensive, hands-on course
examines the exhibition development process with a special focus on the
design and museological elements which must be considered in the
creation of exhibitions. Topics include:
o the role of exhibitions in the museum context
o communicating with the museum visitor
o the role of the object
o conservation considerations
o visitor flow
o lighting and colour
o storylines
o project planning and management
o temporary and travelling exhibits
o showcase arrangements
o production scheduling, installation, and maintenance
Field work, study visits, and the development of a scale model will
provide you with an opportunity to develop your exhibition planning and
design skills.
