TREX Traveling Exhibition Awards
The TREX Traveling Exhibition Awards celebrate achievements, exemplary design, and innovation in the field of museum traveling exhibitions and recognize our talented colleagues in this unique field for their knowledge, skill, and hard work. Anyone can nominate their own work of those they admire and winners are determined through votes from traveling exhibition peers. The awards are announced each year during the American Alliance of Museums Annual Meeting.
