Tracy,

We estimate the cost per square foot of total exhibit space, and we use
around $500 per sq. ft.

This cost covers everything.  Construction, installation, termite
abatement.  Some exhibits spaces are done for less, or more, depending
on how much open space.

Exhibit costs I've personally seen can range from $350-$800 per sq. ft.
Hope that helps.

Hi everyone. We are putting together fundraising plans for an exciting 
expansion of our museum. We would like to include some reasonable
estimates 
for interactives, e.g. a walk-through ear and/or a computerized anatomy 
interactive.

This is so far and above anything that we have done in the past, that I
really 
have no idea where to start. If anyone can give me some help and/or
advice, 
I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks!
Tracy Sullivan
