Theatre & Exhibition Design

The design, planning and arrangement of museum and gallery exhibitions can be a complicated process, and the specific role an exhibit designer plays in this process can depend on the needs of an employer. Some exhibit designers may be responsible for the planning, budgeting, coordination and construction of an exhibit, while others may have more limited responsibilities as members of a larger team. Typical tasks for exhibit designers include the consideration of how and where to display certain objects, conferring with curators about which objects should be included in an exhibit, drawing up plans for the construction of exhibit-specific structures and communicating with other staff to ensure the proper execution of exhibit design plans.
