Recycling old exhibits?
Hi ACM friends,
We are in the early stages of designing some new exhibits for our museum and wanted to know what other museums have done with their old exhibits? Most of the exhibits we will be replacing will not be salvageable, except for perhaps some parts. We'd love to avoid the dump in a perfect world but know that's a reality for some exhibits/materials. Any suggestions from others who have been here before would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
