A Conversation on the Commons featuring Rachael Robinson (Sudbury Historical Society), Ray Radigan (Memorial Hall Museum, and Lindsay Kruzlic (Memorial Hall Museum)

We’ve all visited exhibits in larger museums that lead us to scratch our heads in envy. So smart, so wonderfully inviting to interaction, so beautiful, so … expensive. Moreover, our visitors, not in the least their kids, have been to those places as well. How can a small museum create exhibits to work with the public’s sophisticated expectations? Is it all about hiring expensive designers, consultants, cabinet makers, and computer specialists? Join us for two back-to-back Conversations on the Commons entitled Exhibits: What’s a Small Museum to Do? Part I will tackle concept and design — in other words, the planning. Part II will take on the installation and technology — that is, the implementation.

Join us with your questions, ideas, successes, less-than-successes, and comments on Friday, March 15, 12-1:30pm for the first part of this Conversation.

Registration is free. REGISTER HERE!

We will do our best to monitor your questions and comments during the conversation. A recording will be publicly available in the Conversations on the Commons Archive, and a livestream available on our YouTube channel.
