Translate exhibition texts
Not all artworks speak for themselves. Well written exhibition text provides valuable background and let visitors experience art from a wider perspective; it demands creativity and the ability to strike a chord with the reader. It must tell a concise and inspiring story, which requires a familiarity not only with art, but also with words. Multilingual exhibition text is no exception, so we use translators who are at home with both.
When we did the translations for an exhibition at the Kröller-Müller Museum, we used one of our regular translators with a detailed knowledge of art history. The text for the Sea Monsters exhibition at the Maritiem Museum had to be specially tailored to very young children. World Press Photo chose us for their annual travelling exhibition, requiring translations into no fewer than five languages. The text accompanying these often politically charged photographs was full of nuance, with every word carefully chosen, and that’s how we translated it.
If you’re organising an exhibition, and want your text translated to come across in exactly the same way as the original, or thoroughly edited before it goes onto the wall, ask for a quote below. We’ll be happy to tell you more about our experience and rates.
