5.1 Exhibition Titles
If an
exhibition has a title and subtitle, the two elements are to be separated by an
en-dash with a space on either side. Note that this
is an exception to the general rule of en-dash usage,
and is done to keep consistency between English and French title style.
Exhibition
titles must always appear in bold font, like this: Terry Fox – Running to
the Heart of Canada or First Peoples
Hall.
If there is
no official translation of an exhibition title, then a Museum-translated
version should be placed in square brackets immediately after the official
title, like this “Sur les traces des
premiers Parisiens [In the Footsteps of the First Parisians].”
