As historic house museums look for new ways to engage and diversify their audiences, many are experimenting with temporary exhibitions. This session will provide a range of ideas on how art and history exhibitions can be leveraged to effectively use under-used or new spaces within or outside a house museum as exhibition space. Although it can be challenging, evolving the traditional visitor model requires rethinking guest access, interpretation, programming, and a host of other details to ensure successful integration of temporary exhibitions in historic house museums. Join us for 75 thought-provoking ideas on your house museum can benefit from temporary exhibitions.

Learning Objectives:

• Explore the ideas and challenges of creating and hosting temporary exhibitions in historic house museums.
• Communicate the importance of refreshing or re-designating spaces inside and outside historic house museums for temporary exhibitions.
