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, Linda Ferguson Audience Advocate and Evaluator Australian War Memorial email: [log in to unmask]
