Sorry, no real life experience with this, although I think I would
find a mandated audiotour
objectionable personally. A few questions you might ask yourself:

1. what accommodations will you make for the deaf and hearing
impaired?
2. what will you do about repeat visitors who merely want to sit in
or stroll the galleries without repeating the audiotour? (After all,
you are an *art* museum!)
3. and what about the folks who don't want to leave your facility
with a wicked case of headphone-hair? ;-)
