Virtual Tours are cool but a faster (and easier) approach is to fly a drone around your museum

The Toy and Action Figure Museum (Pauls Valley, OK) has one of these drone videos on their website and it gives you a quick way to see what it'd like. BONUS: Chop up that drone video and you've got instant social media content. #OklahomaMuseumsAssociation @OklahomaMuseumsAssociation #oklahoma @42kites #42kites #MuseumQRCodeSystem #MuseumAccessibility

Don't just keep those extra pieces in a backroom where nobody can see it!

The Museum of the Red River (Idabel, OK) displays a huge collection of items behind a wall of glass where all guests can see them. LESSON: Tear down solid walls and put up glass walls for more exhibit space without needing a larger floor plan.
