Even though we are a federal facility our museum / visitor center is open
year-round with the exception of 4 holidays: New Year, Easter,
Thanksgiving, & Christmas; we're open for all other federal holidays.
Closing on Easter presents a problem because it is not a federal holiday.
Employees who would normally work that day are required either to use their
personal leave or make-up the day by working some additional time.  Its a
particular problem for those who do not celebrate Easter.  We're still in
the process of working out how best to handle this holiday so as to be fair
to all employees.

What holidays are your museums open on holidays in 1999 and 2000?

Our museum is going to be conducting a visitor survey fairly soon. Any
recommendations on firms you've worked with and were satisfied with? Can
anyone recommend books on the subject?
