Making your own touring exhibition

It takes more than a great idea or unique collection to produce a traveling exhibition other science centres will want to host. This session will uncover what it takes to get started in touring exhibitions. We will cover:

  • The differences between producing an exhibition for your own organisation and one intended to tour.
  • The cost of travelling exhibitions andhow they can get funded.
  • How to know if your touring exhibition idea will work.
  • The main barriers in terms of cost, time, ideas and expertise (in-house or external).
  • The steps involved, starting from the original idea, exhibition concept, design, build, educational materials, logistics, marketing, finding venues to host the exhibition, and everything in between.
  • How to measure results.
