what are the main elements of an exhibition
A consistent overall look will help visitors focus on the content by tying the exhibition together. You may want to select a key image for the title wall or introductory panel, as well as the invitation, booklet, and publicity. Consider how you can "set the scene" or "introduce" the exhibition. A colorful wall or introductory panel can help entice visitors and orient them in the exhibition space.
Design
tools for exhibitions
It is recommended that you mockup your
exhibitions before installing them. Before making a final selection of items,
you may need to conduct additional research on the items and locate additional
items, images, or stories. Working out the rough layout of the exhibition will
help you see how much material you can exhibit and identify any gaps that need
to be filled. Mocking up the exhibition first is safer for collection items
because there is less handling of items while installing in a hurry.
Lighting
Lighting
should be planned early in the exhibition development process because it makes
a significant difference to displays and is frequently left until the last
minute; a lighting designer can be useful for large projects. It is always best
to light works of art that are hung on walls from an angle, with spotlights
positioned so that they pan over several exhibits.
No
exhibit should be placed in direct sunlight at any time of day, especially if
it contains fabric, paintings, drawings, prints, or original photographs. For
the duration of the exhibition, any windows near exhibits should be blocked out
or fitted with UV filtering screens.
Permission to
republish creative works
Before
reusing images, artworks, literature, dramatic works, or music, check to see if
they are copyrighted; even if the item is yours, the creator may retain the
copyright.
Many
copyright holders are happy to grant permission for museums and galleries to
reproduce their work; however, professional artists and collecting
organizations may charge fees; in this case, plan ahead of time, as it can take
weeks for an organization to process a license request. The licensing of
content is always for a specific purpose.
