One thing I enjoy about museum restaurants is when their menu reflects
their exhibits' subject matter. For example, a few years back at the
Oakland Museum I saw a historical Russian exhibition and the cafe was
serving Russian specialities that had popular appeal. It was a really nice
touch which obviously worked, as I can still remember the event (though I
can't remember the name of the stew I ate!). When we opened our cafe at
the Science Museum of Minnesota this past March, we served Mexican
specialties from local taco houses to complement our Mexican folk art
exhibit.
Seeing the museum's mission in all areas of the museum, I think, makes for
an exceptional visit. Anyone know of any exhibits in restrooms? It seems
that 2-dimensional exhibits would be fairly easy. I've noticed that
bathroom advertisements (sorta framed poster ads, usually over the
urinals--sorry?!) are more and more common these days. They had them at
the convention center at AAM. Out of curiosity, was there something
similar in the women's restrooms, on the stall doors perhaps?
