Details of Learning Activities

In this course we will be developing your skills specific to working within the area Exhibition Design. Broadly speaking exhibition design can be divided into two areas - Trade (commercial) and Interpretation (collections based).

You will undertake 3 tasks in the course. Each task will provide insight into the necessary sequence or process that an exhibition concept moves through before being realised and the various skills an exhibition designer needs.

Alongside definite skills like concept, design development and documentation skills there are other skills you will be learning like working with space, introduced structure, working in a team structure, detailing, organising etc.
