Opis

Museum exhibitions are the future of education. A successful exhibit means a successful visitor experience. The best exhibits engage visitors, offer them free-choice learning, and impart useful information. The worst exhibits dont get used. This paper discusses the five criteria that make for a successful exhibit in a hands-on, informal learning environment, and the three core principals any designer can use to help their exhibit reach its maximum potential.
