Below are a few tips and tricks I picked up that may come in handy!

There was Jaime Kopke's Denver Community Museum , which existed for nine months in a Denver storefront in 2008-9 to celebrate visitors' creations. The design is humble--and radical. Because the experience is the key focus (and because of the highly temporary nature of the experience), the design costs are nil.

And this works pretty well in science museums, where designers talk about "hardening" exhibits to withstand the more aggressive touchers among us.
