Open Exhibits is a new open source initiative for informal science education.

Open Exhibits is a National Science Foundation-funded initiative to develop a library of free and open multitouch-enabled software modules for exhibit development. Built using the popular Adobe Flash and Flex authoring tools, museum professionals will be able to creative innovative floor and web-based exhibits easily and inexpensively.

Beginning in November, 2010, we will release Open Exhibits core software, which includes support for multitouch gestures within Adobe Flash and Flex. This software will be free for museums, universities, students, and other educational organizations.

Ideum Inc. operates Open Exhibits with three museum partners: the Don Harrington Discovery Center, the Maxwell Museum of Anthropology, and New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science. Evaluation will be conducted by Rockman et. al.
