The Conservation Center for Art and Historic Artifacts
(CCAHA) presents:
SMALL CASES, BIG IDEAS: PLANNING
EXHIBITIONS
Philadelphia, PA – December 5, 2006
Cosponsored
by:
Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts
Held at:
Historic Landmark Building,
Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine
Arts
About the Workshop
Exhibitions are integral to the mission of museums,
historic houses, historical societies, and to archives and libraries as these institutions
strive to showcase their collections. Quality exhibits reflect the good
stewardship activities that take place behind the scenes in cultural
institutions and allow organizations to interpret their collections to the
public.
While exhibitions are essential in
assisting institutions in fulfilling their missions, they can also be time
consuming, expensive, and potentially damaging to artifacts. This workshop is
designed to assist institutions in coordinating the many activities that are
part of planning small to medium sized exhibitions.
Local exhibit designers, curators,
and conservators will discuss exhibit development, the process of working with
a designer, and preservation considerations when mounting exhibitions. Concepts
will be illustrated through case studies that range from small case exhibits to
art installations and historic interiors.
