Maria,
Here's another plug for The Exhibitionist. The Spring 2007 issue was
called "The RFP Issue", and includes a wealth of helpful information,
written by museum staff as well as staff from design and fabrication
firms. It described a variety of approached to the RFP process, and
outlines what kinds of information about your project should be included
in an RFP to ensure that you get useful responses. See
http://n-a-m-e.org/journal/.
Regards,
Tamara

Does anyone have an "exhibition plan" that they would be willing to
share. I am looking for some sort of planning document that will give me
ideas on how to write and develop a plan to help me to prepare an RFP
for Exhibit Design services.
Thanks,

Well, not to get too far off topic. I don't think my comments are
tainted by
being a future dead white man, but part of the glory of many of those
named
achievements is where they came from. How many, especially the
Americans, were
either an orphan and/or from a very, very, poor family, or was the
child of an
orphan and/or very poor family.
