What can be done with a dedicated staff,
some time and a "large" budget?

Background Information
A permanent outdoor exhibition involves considerable resources including staff time, outside contractors, a full exhibit planning process and budget. We have outlined below the exhibit development process that went into the final phase of Our Backyard.

 

Donor Development
A generous private donation in late 2008 allowed us to further deepen the exhibit’s content offerings by commissioning artists to create contextual sculptures related to the exhibit’s mission.

Our Backyard Replication Toolkit is made possible by MetLife Foundation and Association of Children’s Museums Promising Practice Replication Award
