MS 235: Scripting the Exhibition
Instructor: Karin Hostetter
July 1-26, 2013
Location: Online at www.museumclasses.org

Description: So much to say and so little space in which to say it.
That is the dilemma when scripting an exhibition. How do you say
what needs to be said in the space available? How do you even figure
out how to limit the information in the first place? Discover the
value of themes, tangibles, intangibles, and universals in writing
exhibit text that visitors really want to read and remember.
Additional resources provided on font size and colors as well as
label layout.

Logistics: Participants in Scripting the Exhibit work through
sections on their own. Materials and resources include online
literature, slide lectures and dialog between students and the
instructor through online forums.

Scripting the Exhibit runs four weeks. To learn more about the
