Hey Sheri,
Recently we developed and travelled three sets of exhibits to local
schools, recreation centers and at least one library. The exhibit was
made up of three small components about air. There was a Bernoulli
Blower, a "sailboat" table and an open-ended air table with pipes,
windmills and other gadgets to mess with. We also provided programming
and did workshops. We had three identical sets and they usually stayed
about a month at each location. The set was designed to be a smaller
version of a much larger 1200 sq foot exhibit called Air Fair. These
were called Air-to-Go. The entire project was paid for with a grant
from a local foundation. It travelled in our large van and required two
people to move and set up. If you want to know more contact me
directly.

Are there any museums out (or does anyone know of other organizations)
that travel exhibits or exhibit components to non-museum venues (such
as schools, libraries, malls, etc)?
Many thanks in advance,
Sheri
