to my believe anything is in that should be in, however, ideas can alos come from conservation or research departments

Looks excellent, helpful and effective, we are looking forward to see it implemented.
Thanks Robert, we’ll add conservation and research to the list of triggering events.

Hi Angela,
One small comment from our practical experience that may not be covered.
Process: ‘Conservation recommendations’ can influence ‘Design’
The exhibition architect often implement rebuilding of the gallery space that effects environmental conditions. The conservator evaluate these changes and acts as advisor and intermediate between architect and technical staff to find a solution.
This should generate a document that can be reused in future exhibition projects.
Hi Escoffier,
Thank you for your thoughts on how conservation recommendations can influence design. I have noted this as a two-way arrow rather than a one-way arrow between these two activities in the flowchart. And, I’ve added a new document to the right of the process called ‘Design Document’ (alongside Exhibition checklist).
This process often involves lots of people from different institutions and the schedule can often get mixed up. Object evaluation may not always happen at the right time and as noted conservation recommendations can often effect design, display cases, micro climates, hang mechanisms off gassing.
We may need some kind of dynamic check list, outstanding: objects/venues, preparative work, imaging, etc.. Resulting a few loops in the work-flow.
Another thought, should the object research be initiated by the original check list and then the results would feed into guidelines, etc ? Object related steps, might also stimulate more related/unrelated research.
Nice diagram.
