I had the chance to listen to a couple who has been in the museum field for decades.together they have opened several small museums, and were very helpful. I still have a thousand questions for them. but for now the key piece of information is that it takes at least three years of development to open a museum. Good to have a realistic time line. I have two weeks to develop a traveling poly pop exhibit.with a corresponding educational program for the general public. with that I have to do the budget, find a legitimate funding source, and write a grant proposal. In addition to completing my assignment I will also be designing a museum logo, and brochure to be used for fund raising. Then I will start to look for ways to fund raise for the future museum. All of my ideas will play off of the traveling exhibit which may be coming to a museum in your city sometime within the next year or so. Sooooo, what I want to know from tikiphiles at large is.....IF YOU WERE TO GO TO YOUR LOCAL MUSEUM TO SEE A POLY POP EXHIBIT WHAT (IN YOUR WILDEST FANTASIES) WOULD YOU MOST ENJOY SEEING AND WHAT INFORMATION WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE GO ALONG WITH THE EXHIBIT? please feel free to answer here or PM me if you have a top secret idea. I really want to hear what you have to say, because it will help make the traveling exhibit as good as possible. without some outside in-put it would just be what I would want to see and I may overlook something really important.
