This exhibit was designed to be portable; i.e., it is intended to travel because the larger objective was to get this out to as many people as possible.  That's the ideal then there is the real: it is an expensive, with fairly complicated equipment to transport and exhibit.

A word of disclosure:  as NABO facilitator I cannot offer to take/set-up/remove this exhibit for all member organizations because as you will read below, this is all quite an involved process.  The commitment made is to have this exhibit appear in all four NABO regions where it is possible to see it.  Furthermore, the whole program is available on a CD-rom that will be made available to all clubs; i.e., all will have easy access to the program itself although not necessarily the same easy access to the touch-screen monitors and display banners.

At present Kantuketan is on display at the Boise Basque Museum & Cultural Center.  In summer of 2007 it will travel and be displayed at our annual NABO Convention in Winnemucca; then again in 2008 at the Convention in Chino, CA.  The aim is to move it to all four of NABO's geographic regions.  The NABO facilitator (John Ysursa) will transport it these venues.  NABO could arrange for your community to put this on display as well, but it would require the following:

• Transport:  Your community willing to pick up the display in Boise, and then see that it is returned there.  Transport of the whole exhibit would require the space of a mini-van.

• Set up/take down:  Someone from your community would have to set it up (which takes approximately three hours) and take it down (about one hour).  Furthermore, a degree of computer know-how will be needed to set up the equipment.

• Security: the whole project cost $33,000 as paid for by the Basque Government.  The exhibit is somewhat fragile, and is best exhibited indoors where it can then be locked down.  One suggestion is that the exhibit be placed at your local museum / library / cultural center
