Learn how to see your collection in a whole new way! You have a treasure trove of materials hidden in your collection storage. Don’t hire a consultant - let us show you low cost, DIY solutions that will utilize your resources and help you tell new stories with your existing collections.
SESSION TWO - COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
No matter how fantastic a new exhibit is, if the public doesn’t know about it, they won’t come! Community engagement is an essential step towards making your museum a beloved institution by welcoming new visitors, involving local people, and reaching out to new audiences. This workshop will review traditional marketing methods and showcase new non-traditional exhibit design approaches that feature technology to promote long-distance visitation and longevity.
