Exhibitsmith
Let’s rethink the way we ”save our stuff.” Lindsey Smith, Exhibitsmith, helps people interpret, preserve, and better understand the objects that make up our world. If you have a lot of stuff, this might feel overwhelming. But believe it or not, Lindsey truly believes that artifact and heirloom preservation can be both easy and fun. She invites you to sit back, relax, and listen to her professional thoughts, personal musings, and the ridiculous stories that she’s encountered while on – and off – the job. Hopefully it’ll all help you feel a little better about how to deal with your own stuff.

Who knew a tent could be so exciting?!
I certainly didn't. But the fourth graders did.
Let’s talk about the power of authenticity. Authenticity is real. True. And when it comes to objects, it might just be what turns something ordinary into something extraordinary. On today’s episode, I’ll be sharing a very creative example of how one museum decided to interpret one of their most special artifacts, to great success.

About Exhibitsmith
When Lindsey founded Exhibitsmith in 2009, she wasn't even a Smith yet. Newly engaged, she decided to incorporate her future married name into her business name because it sounded a little punny. In fact, her first tag line was “There are blacksmiths, there are silversmiths, and now there’s an exhibitsmith.”
She thought she was hilarious.
And, unfortunately, she still does.
