Hi All!

I find it interesting that these definitions all include collecting
(verb) or collections (noun).  So, centers/centres - be they art,
science, etc. - with exhibits but without collections are not included?
Seems a bit ridiculous . . . unless there's going to be a specific
definition of "art center/centre," "science center/centre," etc.

Sincerely,

Jay Heuman
