It took years for us to overcome a one-time use of "rotating" exhibits. Far too many people expected something spinning around, like a merry-go-round, or a microwave oven. Try "changing exhibits" or "special exhibits," perhaps. For example, "space for special exhibits where the ___ Museum will bring objects from the far reaches of the world to your doorstep." If that's what you're doing. Or, "Space dedicated to our ever-changing landscape illustrated by special exhibits based on the museum's own collections." Don't know what your mission is, but you should be able to tie this "special opportunity" space directly to it in a sentence or two. -----Original Message----- From: Baker, Anne Marie [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Monday, March 08, 2004 2:01 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Museum Brochure - language "Rotating exhibits" is one possibility. _____ From: Museum discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Shiree Dyson Sent: Monday, March 08, 2004 3:53 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Museum Brochure - language Greetings Everyone, We are designing a temp. brochure to introduce our new museum to the community.
