something to also consider is the nature of the exhibit. A venue would have
a hard time arguing it had ownership of a phenomenon, which is what most of
the "Cookbook" type exhibits are based upon - partly why you see similar
exhibits all around the world. You would be on trickier territory with
non-phenomenological exhibits as considerably more investment will have gone
into the core activity rather than just the fine detail of the design, so
creators will certainly feel more ownership of the end result. On the other
hand, these sort of exhibits are difficult to copy without doing the bulk of
the work again, so you often better off speaking to the originator anyway.
Good luck with your studies!

Dear Informal Educators,
I have visited several facilities over the past couple of years and have
seen
many things I would love to duplicate in a facility I may work at in the
future. What are the rules, unwritten and written, on copying and adapting
exhibit ideas from facility to facility? I am currently a doctoral student,
formerly the director of a small school planetarium, and hope to someday
again
work at a planetarium with science center. Feel free to respond off-list to
