I think the Boston Children's Museum is in the process of developing small
science oriented exhibits. WGBH might be able to help also. Paddy Wade, MITS

Teresa,
It IS hard to find exhibits of that size out there. In fact, there is a
session dedicated to the needs of smaller institutions at the upcoming AAM
conference in Indianapolis, and there is a subcommittee also meeting
together I believe--the Directors of Small Museums during the time in Indy
as well.
Cincinnati Museum Center is not a small institution, but we hear the call of
the smaller museums, and have always tried to address the needs of
interactive, 3-D exhibits for smaller spaces to accommodate so that smaller
places are not always having to reach for 2-D flat exhibitions by making
multiple sized copies of exhibits (ie: a 5,000 AND a 2000 sq. ft version of
the same subject.)
Please feel free to contact me off-list and I would be happy to share the
range of exhibits we offer in the 2,500 sq ft and under set--we have 7
offerings currently.
In fact, we are contracting to tour manage for Harvard Museum of Natural
History for two of their new traveling exhibits--both at about 1,500 sq.
feet.
Best regards to all,
Elisabeth
