In-house exhibits are an important educational function of many organizations. Such exhibits allow institutions to display objects from permanent collections. In-house exhibits are often less complex than traveling exhibits, in that they require fewer packing, shipping, or insurance considerations. These exhibits can be mounted on a small budget and can give the public access to an organization's collections.
In many museums and historical societies, limited budgets make mounting major traveling exhibits or borrowing from other institutions all but impossible. Therefore, in-house exhibits represent a large percentage of all exhibits mounted in museums. PastPerfect has features for tracking both in-house and traveling exhibits.
