Join us in Ottawa for a half day workshop featuring techniques

those that don’t!

Gallery and the Northern Illinois University Museum Studies
Program and Agnes Ma, Manager of the NIU Museum Studies Traveling
Exhibitions program will lead you through a morning of tips
that you will be able to put to immediate use.
Participants will receive a list of supplies
that they will need to bring with them to the workshop.
“Best workshop that I’ve ever attended. It was full
of really useful tips and techniques that I
can use right away!”

the stages of the exhibit development process: planning, design,
fabrication and installation that can be applied to any type
of museum exhibits. They will share their time-tested techniques,
as well as how to apply best practices when designing for visitors
in an informal learning environment. They will discuss issues
with broad applications as well as case studies and lots of
hands-on activities.

Bring along a floor plan or photograph of your problem area
for the troubleshooting session at the end of the workshop.
