Hmm. I'm not an exhibition designer, but would Second Life be a good
platform for this? I have seen it used for gallery mockups (and have
done something similar myself for other purposes), but it does have the
advantage of being fairly easy to learn.

Subject: [MCN-L] question on gallery simulation software
Dear all,
I am a PhD student at Indiana University, working this semester with the
Curator of Works on Paper at the University Art Museum on an art
exhibition
project. We have been wondering if there is some specific software out
there
used for exhibition design, to be handy, quite easy to learn, cheap, and
that would not expect some great experience in 3D design. We are mostly
thinking of a template that would simulate the museum gallery, where we
could drag and move things to get some feeling of what the exhibition
gallery would look like with the art works, painted walls, etc.
included.
I have been playing around with Google's SketchUp, but I would be
interested
in any software that you may be using, that could maybe be easier for
curators to use when they lack the availability of an installation
designer,
and they just want to have a gallery simulating interface...
Any feedback would be really appreciated!
thank you in advance,
Ilias Kyriazis
