Summary:

"This book helps museums, exhibit designers, and exhibit fabricators move forward in their mission to be more sustainable. The first step will be to define what sustainability means for each group by selecting sustainability goals from a broad spectrum of possibilities. The handbook then provides specific steps institutions can take to put these goals into action, starting with how and when to set goals with stakeholders. The Handbook includes case studies and resources for each type of sustainability goal and strategies for maintaining these goals when budgets and schedules threaten them. This valuable resource features strategies for creating exhibitions that are designed for human health, for social health and equity, for ecosystem health, for climate help, and for entering the circular economy. It also provides information about some of the best interior finishes and materials to use when designing exhibitions for cultural institutions including specific products that the author recommends and which third party certifications to trust when seeking out sustainable materials. The Handbookis an essential guide to a mindful sustainable design process where progress is valued over perfection"-- Bloomsbury Collections
