I am developing four interactive, browsing or discovery rooms
for our new museum complex in Los Angeles. The target
audience for these rooms is adult, college-educated visitors
with an interest in art, but little or no training in it. The goal of
these rooms is to interpret the permanent collections, putting
them in a historical context, as well as examining materials,
techniques, styles, and motifs. The collection includes
illuminated manuscripts, Renaissance bronzes, assorted
sculpture, glass, ceramics, French decorative arts, 16th
through 19th century European paintings, 19th and 20th
century photographs.

The working title of the rooms is Info Centers, which, to me,
does not reflect their educational or dynamic nature. So far,
we've had suggestions of: Art-itorium, Art Access Area,
Browsing Room, Curiosity Corner, and Art Annex.
Unfortunately, none of these is just right. Many of you were
very creative a few months ago in naming a mathematics
exhibition, perhaps you can don your thinking caps and
come up with something pithy and workable for these rooms.
The winner will be recognized as the originator and will
recieve all of the credit for his or her title. Thank you.
