Alcatraz Traveling Exhibition !
Have been hired by Alcatraz Cruises to project manage the new 2800 square foot traveling exhibition “Alcatraz: Life on the Rock”. The exhibition is opening at Ellis Island October 2011. Prior to the opening we would like to evaluate the exhibition with the general public. We are interested in finding a California Bay Area venue that would be available to host the exhibition for 2-3 weeks during March or April for visitor evaluation. We would cover costs during the exhibition evaluation and there would be no cost for the exhibition rental.

The decision to halt the project was prompted by a report on the museum’s finances issued by Moody’s Investors Services last week.”
