Traveling Loan Exhibits

The Rogers Historical Museum produces traveling exhibits geared for small and mid-sized history museums.  In producing our traveling exhibits, we draw upon our experience as exhibit borrowers and incorporate features we feel are helpful:

Relatively low cost of from $500 to $800 per 6-week booking period (multiple booking periods available) plus shipping to the next venue (usually $500 - 1,500)
Objects as well as panels, either shadow-boxed on the exhibit panels or to be placed in your own cases.
Incorporation of ADA guidelines, including font size and suggestions for hanging heights
A hands-on feature as part of each exhibit
Crates designed with smaller museums in mind, with fairly low weights, dimensions to fit thorough the average doorway, easy-to-use handles and lids, and rugged skids
Posters and brochures to accompany each exhibit
An exhibit packet with publicity materials, suggestions for educational programming and an exhibit guide, including ideas for exhibit supplements, suggestions for further reading, and instructions on such topics as insurance, transportation, security, environmental guidelines, handling and packing.

Check the exhibit details for each exhibit.  For further information or to arrange a booking, contact:
