American Exhibitions

Who they are
American Exhibitions is a producer of world-class touring exhibitions for science centers and museums. With blockbuster exhibits such as "Mummies of the World," the company helps museums and science centers boost attendance, fuel capital campaigns and increase museum membership. Museums and science centers throughout the United States have presented the company's educational exhibitions while also welcoming the marketing support, philanthropic partnerships, community programming and educational curricula American Exhibitions provides.

What we do for them
Hollister Creative wrote and designed the Learning Guide that American Exhibitions provides to the museums and science centers presenting "Mummies of the World." Museums use the guide to attract school groups and help teachers make the most of a class visit to the exhibition. The guide is divided into units of interpretive text highlighting aspects of the exhibition and connecting the study of mummies with various fields of science and social science. Each unit contains inquiry-based science and social science activities that further student understanding of scientific methods of study and the historical and cultural context of mummies.

Why they love us
"Hollister Creative not only met our expectations in creating the education guide for "Mummies of the World," they went over and above in every way to make sure we were satisfied with our final product. I thought I would pass the note that just came to me from the VP of The Franklin Institute regarding your educational guide. Troy Collins wrote: 'I just want to extend a compliment. As our integrated learning department has been reviewing the Mummies materials for local changes, they have told us that they feel that the Mummies materials are some of the best written educational guides that they've seen come from an exhibition producer.' Nothing I did not know already!"
