Correct Transcript:

Preparing for a new exhibit is a detailed process that involves cooperation among various departments. First, we choose themes that are not only educational but also appealing to our visitors. Artifacts are carefully selected and often loaned from other institutions to ensure a varied collection. Each piece undergoes conservation to maintain its condition before display. We also develop educational programs to accompany the exhibit, including workshops and guided tours, enriching the visitor's experience.
