I'm working as the evaluation co-ordinator at the Australian War
Memorial.
We've recently begun a major redevelopment program that will involve
building several new exhibitions as well as redesigning current
galleries and facilities. I have to make a recommendation about how
much money, what percentage of the total project budget for each
exhibition, should be set aside for evaluation (front-end and
formative).
What do other institutions do? Do you have any policies about how much
money to spend on evaluation? What percentage of your exhibition
budgets have you spent on evaluation in the past?
Ballpark figures are more than acceptable!
Thanks,
