What is an Exhibition?

A good exhibition should be fun, entertaining and meaningful yet still provide a strong learning environment. In addition, a good exhibition should showcase art and artifacts in an organized and cohesive manner that helps invoke an important message. The design of the exhibition should draw the audience into that learning environment by being stunning, spectacular and/or unexpected in its own way. A number of different types of presentations, displays and stations may need to be employed, since audiences learn and enjoy in many different ways. Most importantly, an exhibition is a piece of art created by one or more persons to convey feelings and emotions. To assist the audience, every good exhibition needs an overall statement that is both descriptive and insightful as well as individual art and artifact labels.
