Subject: Open Storage


> Would anyone know of recent or current projects to build extensive open
storage facilities, either in North America or elsewhere in the world that
> are secure and yet allow visits by the public without an escort.
>
> I would also be curious if anyone is aware of an open storage facility,
new or old, that includes interpretive components (labels, computer stations
> with a data base of information, audio tours, image projections, etc.)
that allow the objects on display to 'speak for themselves' without a
personal
> guide.
>
> Thanks very much for any suggestions that you might have.
