>Defining quality in museum exhibitions generally. (I am
>interested in what you *personally* think)

        A) Is the exhibit topic relevant to the visitor's experience?
        B) Is the topic appropriate for the medium of exhibits? Does it
        lend itself to those things that make an exhibit a unique and
        valueable experience (i.e. Does it incorporate experiential as
        well cognitive learning? Does it involve the vistor in a three
        demensional space that creates a pertinent context for ideas? Is
        the body, mind and emotion involved?)
        C)Does the exhihbit get them to look at their own lives
        differently? Does it go beyond learning for learnings
        sake and encourage action on the vistor's part?

>2. What is your area of work (eg design, education, evaluation,
>conservation, curatorial, etc)?

        Exhibits Planner.

>3. Has your institution done any work in this area?

        Hopefully, by way of example.
