    Hi AAM Community. Looking for free software that helps with exhibit display layout and collection displays. Will need to be able to print nicely. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    We use SketchUp for our exhibits. It helps us organize and visualize prior to installation. It allows opportunity to collaborate with curators, educators, and collections to better plan and solicit feedback.

    We used the free version to justify the professional license, which we now use...
