Evaluating an exhibition

Dear Museum-L's

I'm preparing a paper for my MA in Museum Studies and would like to evaluate a particular exhibition from the point of view of the display of the objects, the cases, the labels, the lightening, etc. I mean an evaluation made by a museum professional rather than by the public and a traditional exhibition, not an interactive one.

I have some bibliography but would like to know if there are Web sites devoted to museum exhibitions. Having surfed a lot in these last days, I found nothing ...

Thanks for your help
