FREE Museum Resources
Who doesn't like free stuff? Here are links to some great FREE exhibit design resources from the POW! website:
A constantly updated compendium of resources for museum design and exhibit fabrication (including websites and contact information.) Need to find fake food, giant sequins, or adaptive devices? Check out the GBER List! And contact me if you have a resource you think should be added to the list.
The idea for the Exhibit Cheapbooks started during sessions at the annual Association of Science-Technology Centers (ASTC) Conference. The purpose was to share "cheap" exhibit ideas and create a written record of how to replicate these simple and successful exhibit components.
The four Exhibit Cheapbooks have always celebrated museums' "sharing" nature. Inside each volume, you will find varied exhibit ideas from museum colleagues around the world. Sincere thanks to everyone who has shared their ideas and expertise! Special thanks to ASTC for allowing all the Exhibit Cheapbooks material to be shared freely online.
Check out these interesting and informative video conversations with museum professionals from around the world. Topics run the gamut from museum management, community engagement, digital exhibits, and more! Click the link above for the video gallery, or go directly to the POW! YouTube site.
You can also find downloadable exhibit articles and other museum exhibit design resources by clicking over to the main resource page on the POW! website.
