We are in the planning stages for the new Museum of Mississippi History 
and we are looking for criteria used when doing an exhibit on 
"celebrities" from the state.  We plan to have an exhibit on "Arts and 
Entertainment" that will tell about some of Mississippi's authors, 
artists, and actors and a "Music Emporium" where Mississippi's 
contributions to music will be discussed. 

We are concerned about who to include in these exhibits--do we include 
every published author from Mississippi or only those that have reached 
a certain level in their career?  Do you have a similar exhibit?  If so, 
what, if any, criteria was set to determine inclusion in the exhibit?  
Also, who is included in the exhibit--actors, athletes, artists, 
authors, musicians, et.?

Thank you in advance for your time.
