Museum Exhibition Contract Drawing Specifications

Mark Walhimer Exhibit Fabrication, Exhibition Design, Project Management Leave a Comment

When creating museum exhibition design drawings, the drawings become part of the fabrication contract documents. I just spent an thirty minutes looking for the standard specification for Stainless Steel (All visible or in-case material to be supplied in Stainless Steel (Grade 316) unless otherwise specified). Thought I would put together a Museum Exhibition Contract Drawing Specifications post.  The National Park Service (NPS) and the Smithsonian are the benchmarks for Museum Exhibition Contract Drawing Specifications.
