11. Don't bore people, talk down to them or lose them by assuming
that they know what you know.
12. Insist that designers, staff and your board members experience
your facility as visitors as often as possible.
13. Use good story telling techniques, tell good stories not
lectures, lay out your exhibit with a clear logic.
14. Lead visitors from one area to another by creating visual
magnets and giving visitors rewards for making the journey.
15. Make good use of all the non-verbal ways of communication –
color, shape, form, texture.
16. Resist the temptation to tell too much, to have too many
objects, don't force people to swallow more than they can digest, try
to stimulate and provide guidance to those who want more.
17. If you have a lot of information divide it into
distinct, logical, organized stories, people can absorb and retain
information more clearly if the path to the next concept is clear
and logical.
18. Clear institutional identity helps give you the competitive edge.
Public needs to know who you are and what differentiates you
from other institutions they may have seen.
19. How do you woo people from all other temptations? Give people
plenty of opportunity to enjoy themselves by emphasizing ways
that let people participate in the experience and by making your
environment rich and appealing to all senses.
20. Never underestimate the importance of cleanliness and routine
maintenance, people expect to get a good show every
time, people will comment more on broken and dirty stuff.
