Lissa,

What a unique spelling to your name.  I like it.  Thank you for your
response.

The panels I asked about will not be mounted on the wall.  They will act
partially as a barrier between the exhibit itself (a kind of vignette) and
where the public will stand to view the exhibit. We will have wall mounted
panels as well so it is great to see where other museums are placing their
panels.

Thanks,
Becca
