Traveling Exhibitions

Museumwise, with funding from the Documentary Heritage Program of New York State, makes available a series of Traveling Exhibitions to organizations within New York State. These professionally designed and produced panel exhibits are available for loan to organizations at a minimal cost and with minimal insurance coverage. The exhibits are also designed so that borrowing institutions can use the exhibit to highlight their own collections and the important work being done at their institutions.

Museumwise Traveling Exhibitions are available on a first-come, first-serve basis, with priority given to organizations within the DHP South Central Region. Once the reservation is made, confirmation is sent to the borrowing institution along with a loan agreement which needs to be signed and returned to Museumwise along with proof of insurance and payment.

Please click on the links below to find out more about the exhibits that are available. If you have any questions, please contact Stephanie Lehner Rowe, Program Coordinator, at 800.895.1648 or by email at info@museumwise.org.
