At the outset of the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, National Geographic quickly responded by creating a new fund in support of journalists and storytellers worldwide. The penetrating work of these grantees richly illustrates a myriad of aspects of a world in crisis, elevating deeply personal local stories and giving them a global reach. See the pandemic through the eyes of these National Geographic storytellers.

Frequently Asked Questions
We create exhibitions covering a wide range of topics to appeal to multiple audiences. Here are answers to some commonly asked questions.
Installation requirements vary considerably depending on the size and complexity of the exhibition. For smaller photography exhibitions, installation may take only a few days with minimal staff. For larger exhibitions with exhibition furniture, audio, visual elements, and artifacts, it may take two weeks. The traveling exhibitions manager will work closely with you and your staff to develop a detailed installation and de-installation plan tailored to your needs and exhibition characteristics.
Shipping arrangements are made by National Geographic in consultation with the venue and may be included in the exhibition loan fee. If shipping is not included in the loan fee, the exhibitor will pay for the cost of inbound shipping. A list of crates with their sizes and contents are provided to the venue to assist in installation planning. For larger exhibitions where multiple tractor trailers are used, a detailed truck pack plan is provided to the venue in advance to assist in installation preparations and staging plans. The traveling exhibitions manager will identify any manpower and special equipment needs for unloading and loading at the exhibitor’s location.
