Exhibits, Shows and Displays

How do I design exhibits at museums?

I don't want to be the curator. I would like to stay away from dealing with the artifacts themselves, but rather I want to bot create the manner in which they are presented and execute its presentation.

1. Someone who designs exhibits IS a curator. But I know what you mean. No easy answer here. There are schools for that. No kidding. Some art schools have it as a major (kinda) Also loads of input about how museums look, how they present stuff makes your mind flexible to make en exhibit look good.

2. Some art schools will have courses on display and presentation. A young neighbour of mine went to the London College of Fashion to do just this for retail outlets. However, you would have to work closely with museum curators and understand the needs of conservation (protection from dust, light, prying hands etc).
