When planning an exhibition, always start with the audience
Use Maslow's hierarchy of needs as planning checklist
For exhibition of Chinese glass, consulted Bristol Chinese community, to inform exhibit labels
Made the labels bilingual, Chinese and English, pre-tested them
Kept labels brief so they didn't become a book on the wall, so they were supplemented them with a catalogue
Used questions to draw in children
