MS 204: Materials for Storage and Display
August 3-28, 2015
Instructor: Helen Alten
Location: <URL:http://museumclasses.org>

    Description: One of the great benefits of the 21st century is
    the abundance of materials for storing and displaying
    collections.  Materials for Storage and Display covers this vast
    array in detail.  Lectures and handouts separate materials by
    properties: rigid, padding, barrier and attachments.  Slide
    shows illustrate the use of each.  The course emphasizes
    acid-free materials and how to retrofit less appropriate
    materials.  Materials for Storage and Display keeps current with
    the latest materials available for preservation.  Using material
    testing as a decision making tool is covered.  Participants
    receive notebooks with samples of all of the materials
    discussed.

MS 236: Education in Museums
August 3-28, 2015
Instructor: Karin Hostetter
Location: <URL:http://museumclasses.org>

    Description: The world of museum education is as varied as the
    imagination.  From school field trips to online blogs, from
    2-year-olds to senior citizens, and from formal programs to
    volunteering, it is all part of the educational delivery system
    of a museum.  In Education in Museums, survey the education
    programs offered at your site.  Determine what exhibits and
    collections need better representation through education.
    Develop a long term plan of education program development for
    your site that you can use to improve services to your
    community.

MS 244: Traveling Exhibits
August 3-28, 2015
Instructor: Lin Nelson-Mayson
Location: <URL:http://museumclasses.org>

    Description: Sharing an exciting exhibition with other museums
    expands your museum's reach and impact.  When and how do you
    plan for this undertaking?  How do you manage the exhibition
    once it has left your facility?  How do you ensure a successful
    exhibition at each venue?  Your questions--the more the
    better--facilitate successful exhibition development and
    touring.  Traveling exhibits, though, are a two-way street.
    Sometimes you are the lender, sometimes you are the borrower.
    How do you find and manage interesting exhibits created by other
    institutions in order to expand your museum's offerings?  In
    this online course, learn how to find interesting exhibits
    developed by other museums and plan for your exhibition from
    idea to on the road and beyond
