Dear Museum-Lers:

Does anyone know the trade name of a type of motion
detector that sounds if a patron leans over a barrier or
gets too close to an object on display?

Also, we are planning a map exhibition for next April, and
one of the maps is rather large (63 inches high by 95
inches long).  One group wants to either frame the map or
enclosed it in mylar.  Another group has suggested hanging
it with a pole through loops at the top, similar to the
method used for hanging quilts and large flat textiles.
 Any suggestions?

Thanks.
