Since its publication in 2008, Exhibit Makeovers has been a useful do-it-yourself handbook for museum staff and volunteers. Exhibit Makeovers is a workbook that provides grounding in interpretive principles, how-to-advice, step-by-step guidance, and moral support for in-house exhibit planning and design.The revised and expanded 2nd edition preserves the supportive tone and easy-to-follow steps that make the original Exhibit Makeovers so user-friendly. Significant revisions—especially in the technology arena—and additions make this new edition a must-have addition to any museum’s toolkit:• New emphasis on visitor input, with step-by-step guidelines for evaluation studiesduring planning and design.• New text and worksheets to guide development of interactives, and ensure varied levelsof visitor participation.• Focus on affordable software to help with exhibit planning and design, as well as low-cost technologies that can vary and deepen the visitor experience.• Brand-new chapters on exhibit design, production, and installation, written by theexperienced team responsible for in-house exhibits at a thriving, mid-size museum.Following the same pattern as the 2008 original, the revised Exhibit Makeovers guides users through step-by-step processes of a single-case makeover, development of a new exhibit, and renovation/renewal of an entire gallery or museum.
