Hi Nicole--
I write from a developer's not a designer's point of view, but in such a master plan I would find the following useful, at the risk of making it much larger:
Interpretive goals and themes
Evaluation plans (and summaries of past evaluations)
Audience: past, current and either projected or goals for new audiences
and I'm sure there's many more possibilities.
Best,
Linda

Subject: Exhibit Master Plan
I have been tasked in updating our museum's Exhibit Master Plan since it has not been updated since 2010 and I want to make sure that I am doing this correctly. There seems to be some question around here about what needs to be in the exhibit master plan. I work for a children's museum, in case that makes a difference. This is what is in our current one: museum history, exhibit design (scale, color, acoustics, etc.), Play & learning, design direction, permanent exhibits, complementary exhibits, future exhibit ideas, traveling exhibits, accessibility, donor recognition, and a museum floor plan. Is this all correct? Also we are looking into doing an expansion of our facility so would it be better to wait till that is finalized before moving forward with a new Master Exhibit Plan? I realize that this is kind of a big to question to ask so any help would be appreciated
