Building a museum exhibit

An exhibit opens on a fixed date, and its label copy, cases, loaned objects and recorded interviews must all be in the gallery by then. This project holds the exhibit plan, the panels and cases on a board, interview and loan to-dos, and gallery and collection photos.

The Pack Season Exhibit project in Thicket over a photograph of a sweet corn field at dusk with a brick cannery far behind it: the health flag reading On track, the exhibit dates and five people, then six cards: the Cases and panels board with cards in Copy, Design, In the shop and Installing, Gallery build as nine photographs of the second-floor gallery being fitted out, the Message Board with the corn cutter lift on top, To-dos with three lists on the progress chart, Collection photos as nine photographs of objects from the cannery, and Exhibit files with the lift plan, the interview transcripts and the object list.

The Ellery County Historical Museum moves every panel and case from copy through the shop to the gallery on Boards and posts the plan, the corn cutter loan and the school bookings on the Message Board. Photos of the gallery build and the collection sit in two Docs & Files grids. The oral histories, the loan, opening weekend and school tours are four lists in To-dos, three of them on the progress chart, and the plan, the transcripts and the loan papers are in a third Docs & Files.
