      Abstract
      As mobile devices are increasingly merging into our daily lives, exhibition ser-

      vices are also facing innovation based on the newly available technologies. Our

      project addresses these new circumstances. We developed a mobile exhibition

      guide for the exhibition called quot;Mrs Brown's Big Day Out: Hamilton Women

      in the 1950squot;. That is organized by the Waikato Museum. The proposed sys-

      tem re-uses the TIP(Tourist Information Provider) system's framework and

      provides information via mobile devices to visitors on Victoria Street, which

      is an outdoor part of the exhibition. The information about a sight will be

      delivered according to visitors' current locations and their interests.

      We would also like to examine the possibility of re-using our TIP system

      within the application area of exhibition guide. Therefore, we built the mobile

      exhibition guide system under the TIP system's framework and developed

      corresponding services that tailored the system to the requirements of visitors

      and the exhibition organizer. During the development, we faced a number of

      challenges, especially, modeling the unknown and unstructured exhibition data

      into the TIP database. The development process as well as the implementation

      and evaluation are detailed in this report.
