Museum Exhibition Design: “The making of a plan for the construction of public displays for the purposes of education, study and enjoyment, in the service of society and its development.” Exhibition Design Process — Phases. Evoluon, Eindhoven, 1968 National Museum of Natural Science, Taiwan, 1986-88 – Mark. Claire Wintle, Kate Guy and Hajra Williams. Pre-recorded papers will be published on the site over the two weeks of the conference (1-11 September 2020), during which time you are encouraged add your questions and comments to the Q&A discussion boards.
Hosted by the Centre for Design History at the University of Brighton, UK, Museum Exhibition Design: Histories and Futures is a nearly carbon-neutral conference (NCNC). Concept Development provides the “road map” for the project, where is the project going?, how will it get there? Please let me know. After 20+ years working in museum exhibition design, I have arrived at my own definition. It includes the typical elements of an academic conference – keynote addresses, panels, Q&As, abstracts, a noticeboard, publications rack and contacts list – but there are no air flights, train journeys, hotel bookings, or conference packs.
