I am developing four interactive, browsing or discovery rooms
randomly scattered throughout 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
know 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,
Rennaisance Bronzes, assorted sculpture, glass, ceramics,
French decorative arts, 16th through 19th century European
paintings, 19th and 20th century photography.

The working title for these rooms is Info Centers or
Information Centers. I think this is pretty dry, and doesn't
indicate in any way the educational function of the rooms.
The problem is that we haven't come up with another title, so
I'm turning to you all. All suggestions will be considered and
the final choice will be announced on the list, with the
originator receiving all the credit.

Right now, some of the titles that have been suggested
include: Art-itorium, Browsing Room, Art Access Area, View
Point, Curiosity Corner. None of these are pithy or
particularly inviting. Some of you were very creative with a
mathematics title a couple of months ago, so I hope you will
don your thinking caps and help me out. Thank you.
