Museum folks...
Thanks to those that responded to my original query about retail/museum
operations. There seems to be a level of interest in the community for
this concept.
Our company is planning a series of facilities that will display
shipwreck artifacts and sell replica jewelery, gifts, etc. with that
theme. We are collaborating with the archaeological community, and hope
this can be a model that demostrates that replicas and the museum part
of the facility can provide a method for funding archaeologically-sound
projects.
The goal is to (finally) provide a business/archaeologial interface to
provide funds for archaeologists that never seem to be able to scrape
enough money up for their projects.
I'd like to hear from designers and suppliers that have ideas for
inter-active exhibits with a historical maritime/shipwreck
orientation.We are well-funded, and plan on opening our first facility
in early 1997 in the Caribbean.
Regards,
Greg Stemm
