Exhibit Design
How a physical or digital exhibit is planned, paced, and built to communicate. The pacing of a room can do as much work as any single object inside it.

Exit surveys measure enjoyment on the day of a visit. What actually stays with someone a year later often looks quite different from what they praised leaving.
