This session highlights exemplary exhibitions created by colleagues at a variety of museums and cultural organizations. The judges will interview the competition winners, who will share the inspiration for exhibitions that demonstrate best practices for integrated design and delivery.

Learning Objectives:

• Establish parameters for best practices for integrating the major areas of exhibit development: audience research, scholarship, education, collections and design.
• Identify concrete examples of excellence and the role exhibitions play in establishing the cultural value of museums - in content and community impact.
• Define innovative ideas for exhibitions and their inspiration; and discuss how competition winners conveyed the value of the exhibition to their audience as measured by unprecedented attendance, extremely positive feedback, increased public support, and other elements that make an exhibition "excellent".
