Event Description

The Roundtable will raise questions about the practice of exhibition design and the methods used to make viewers think critically about the objects on display. Panelists will be encouraged to discuss the influence of elements as lighting, layout, labeling, and wall color on the impact of an exhibition, and the process of making such choices. Relating these influences to the conceptual and theoretical interests of the museum professionals involved, this discussion will broach current issues in exhibition design.
