Dear all,

I am looking for examples of a gallery (or galleries) built in a museum with
the objective of showing the good deeds of, for example: a company, a man,
or institute, in the community, or from a country to other countries &
organizations.
Probably a number of questions are applicable here.
1. To what extent such displays are applicable in a public museum setting.
2. What sort of displays can be presented, if the good deeds include the
sort of work humanitarian organizations do in poor or disaster-striken
countries?
3. Would there be any museological issues, or concerns, involved here?
4. Would there be scepticism about the actual objectives of such museum
exhibits? (i.e. showing off, or so)
5- Would such display be more applicable as an exhibition, rather than a
gallery? Since most of the material available for display are either
graphical, written documents, models, and the like.

I look forward to your input.

p.s. I thank all who contributed to my previous query on (objectivity...)
