It felt good to get the first podcast uploaded yesterday. The time that has gone into writing, recording, and editing is finally manifesting into a tangible product. In this episode, San Francisco Is In Ashes #2: behind the scenes of the exhibit, you get to hear a little about how the exhibit came together. Wells Fargo Historian Marianne Babal and Curator Charles Riggs describe how they approached the exhibit. Many people may not realize what has to happen at the desk of the designer or in the physical Museum space before the folding screens are moved to reveal *magic* on opening day. Once you have a sense of this, you may not be able to visit a Museum in the same way.
Whenever I go to another Museum (cultural site, theme park…wherever) I can’t help but analyze the exhibit design or the way finding system or scribble notes about great concepts to try later. It ends up driving many of my visit companions crazy! One thing everyone can agree on about our exhibit is that the interactive “Make A Quake” activity is a hit. Whether you want to analyze how it works or just hop on and start shaking – it’s fun.
