Preview your new exhibit to the world?
Re-envision and remind visitors of the great exhibit you already have?
Make something busy and exciting? Quiet and sparse, beautiful and poignant?
Fill it with objects and specimens and movie clips and archival images and internet cat videos?
Give away hints and glimpses, leaving your viewers/visitors curious for more?
Capture the essence of the exhibit in two minutes?
Use actors? Community members? Animation? Someone famous?
Link it to popular community blogs? Airing it on regional cable channels?
Partner with a local university/high school/dramatic society/museum members group to create it?
Use it as the foundation for a social media promotion?
