<p>The Alberta Museums used to have a program of Traveling Exhibits
that acted to rotate small sized exhibits from town to town for
display in public libraries and small museums. It was a stable
program and more regularly organized than BC's Royal BC Museum's
traveling exhibit program. Regular circulation among the
participating places was accomplished by a staff member with a
truck which proceeded to transfer the exhibits from place to place
on the circuit. It was a brilliant use of resources. Any of
the small exhibits created were not shown once, but many times to
many audiences. I believe there were standard sized cases in
most of the places, so the exhibits were universally easy to
display. New exhibits were continually created and added for
circulation. With small exhibits, the program costs were very
economical considering the large number of people who saw the
finished displays in the prominent public places.<br>
</p>
<p>That could be a good project for the BC Museums Association.
There is much local talent spread throughout our local museums. A
project of shared displays could be organized provincially and
produced locally to a standard display space format for
circulation in the program. Local artefacts could also be added
to enhance any display to provide local context to the many
cultural stories shared in common. </p>
<p>From my own experience as a Traveling Curator for the Vancouver
Art Gallery, which once had such a program of external exhibits in
rotation at local galleries and schools throughout BC, I
discovered that the role of the traveling attendant who curated
the displays and presented public programs associated with them
was greatly enhanced through also becoming a transmitter of
messages and concepts from place to place within the BC museum
community at large.<br>
