with no roof or enclosure, they are most likely printed/laminated on metal. There are also video displays as part of the exhibit which would obviously have needed to be weather-proofed (which they generally were but were having issues initially and needed constant maintenance). The only thing that did eventually get an enclosure (which came later) was the portion of the archeological dig exposed for view that was apparently getting muddy due to the obvious exposure to the weather, so a glass structure was built around it with a roof (but constantly needed periodic resealing).
