Greetings,
I am new to this list, and don't know whether I am walking into a
minefield of controversy or an area of legitimate interest, but here
goes:
Is anyone on the list actively involved in the development and design of
for-profit museum/attractions that function as an adjunct to retail
facilities? (E.G. Nike's attraction/store, H.Stern's Gemmological
Museum/store in Rio, Mel Fisher's Treasure Display/store in Key West).
Are these facilities considered heresy in Museum circles? There is no
doubt that they seem to be growing in popularity, and are effective
marketing tools.
Thoughts or comments?
Thanks...
