Abstract
This paper argues that a higher level of research activity is necessary at all levels
in the creation of science centre exhibitions. Science centres focus greatly on
their role as an informal learning space but rarely integrate learning theories or
develop documented knowledge in their exhibition practices. A research-based
approach can expand understanding of exhibitions as a media, encouraging a
more systematised, theory-based and documented practice. This premise forms
the basis for creating a model for collaboration between research and exhibition
development in a science centre context that facilitates an iterative research-based
development process and that emphasises focusing on learning elements. We
present a new model for developing research-based exhibitions and provide an
accompanying analysis based on PULSE, a four-year project involving the
development of a health promotion exhibition at the science centre
Experimentarium in Copenhagen, Denmark.
