Revolutionary Roundtables: Pop-Up Exhibits & Public Engagement
Tuesday, October 6, Philipse Manor Hall State Historic Site, Yonkers, New York, 9:30 AM - 12:30 PM
$20 for GHHN Members, $25 for NonMembers
Designed around experimentation and flexibility, this workshop explores how temporary and mobile interpretation can extend museum storytelling beyond traditional galleries. Participants will work collaboratively to design and prototype low-cost pop-up exhibits and public-facing interventions that can be deployed in outdoor spaces, lobbies, or community settings. The session emphasizes adaptability, audience engagement, and rapid testing of ideas, allowing institutions to respond creatively to current themes or visitor needs. Participants will leave with practical models and a toolkit of approaches for implementing pop-up interpretation at their own sites. Space is limited to 25 participants
