> interested in natural history,  local history,  and world cultures,
> and the museum's collection reflects those broad interests.   We are
> seeking museums who have similar types of collections and have found
> innovative ways to interpret and present those collections to the
> public.   We're also interested in learning about anthropologists,
> historians or other scholars who may have examined these types of
> museums and their meanings.
