This studio is the primary vehicle for exploring museum exhibition planning, design and presentation concepts, for developing skills and techniques in museum exhibition design, and for developing the ability to organize and produce outstanding exhibits that clearly communicate their intended messages to diverse audiences.
The intent of the course is to educate the student in the conceptualization, researching, organization, design, production, and installation of museum and interpretive exhibits and presentations through direct problem solving experience under tutorial guidance in a studio environment. Exhibit planning, evaluation and management methods applicable to a wide range of museum situations will be explored - often with input from museum professionals.
The course will include privileged, conducted visits to regional museums. The structuring and presentation of information through design using different state-of-the-art media, communications and display systems, and presentation techniques will be accomplished in the studio - the major integrating experience within the curriculum. Students will be provided studio space to facilitate direct, hands-on instructor-student exchange.
