Watch John Oliver S9 Ep24 talk about looted artifacts and museum storage.

Got a name of a visitor-friendly museum? One committed to inclusive, accessible, interactive exhibits that are prototyped and evaluated? That values visitors' needs for comfort, engagement, and personal connection in their exhibits? Tell me for the 3rd edition of Exhibit Labels!

Punchy First-Person Stories needed for the 3rd edition. Got an encounter, problem, realization, or takeaway about exhibit labels to share? Voices wanted from those who write, edit, and/or evaluate labels--independent museum professionals, current and retired staff, students.

New Case Studies Needed for the 3rd edition of Exhibit Labels. Your opinion, reflection, conclusion, problem solved, problem ongoing, or other thoughtful insights are welcome. See pages 26 and 245 in the 2nd edition for examples of tone and length. Email me. #MuseumExhibitions
