Hamilton, who has a degree in fine arts, likes the fact that more fine artists are at the helm of creative museum exhibit design. Before they start thinking about aesthetics, they understand what storyline or message the exhibit should convey. As a result, Hamilton says “it’s easier to see the artistic mind at work in the final exhibits.”
