Dear all,
I'm forwarding this to the GEM list from another list I belong to because it
looked very useful indeed if any of you are doing museum research or are
working with other researchers.
Best wishes,
Colin Hynson
Dear Treden:
I do not believe that the Chicago Manual has designated a format for citing
museum exhibits. However, several other educational institutions have
posted their guidelines on-line. They follow the Chicago style fairly well.
(See the following URLs.) She may want to follow one of these styles or use
them to design her own format.

See page 3.

ing.htm
"To cite materials posted at the museum, please use the following style:
Format of information (wall text, object label, brochure), Gallery Name,
Number or Exhibition Title, Museum Name, City, State.
example: Wall text, Playful Performers, National Museum of African Art,
Washington, D.C."

Hello Museum Educators,
One of the college educators that I work with asked if I knew of an
appropriate way for her students to cite information that appears in museum
labels. I didn't. Do any of you?
I searched Chicago Manual of Style and didn't see an appropriate match.
Thanks,
