Guidelines for the exhibit review assignment

Consider the following questions:

What is the exhibit's main purpose? (commemoration, art history, entertainment)
How does the exhibit addresses its audiences? (general public, artists, students)
What is the exhibit's main historical point, if any?
What evidence do the curators use? (everyday objects, photographs, paintings, other art objects, oral histories)
In what ways is this exhibit successful? Does it present a nuanced and balanced historical account?
It what ways does this exhibit fail as history?

You may choose a history exhibit, or an art exhibit that includes a historical dimension. Looking for an exhibit to review, consider these museums and galleries:

McCord Museum of Canadian History
Montreal Museum of Fine Arts
Canadian Centre for Architecture
Montreal History Centre
Leonard & Bina Ellen Art Gallery, "We Can Make Rain But No One Came to Ask: Documents from The Atlas Group Archive" (LB Building, closes on March 4)
