>
> Hello Museum-L folk, I'm working on a project that involves our art
> museum's first experiment with an audio tour in the permanent collection,
> and I'd love to hear suggestions or experiences from other institutions.
>
> The audio will be confined to one floor of the museum. We want to use
> hand-held units (vs. installed speakers) that allow random access (no
> prescribed sequence), and we'd like it to require minimal staffing (if
> self-serve proves impossible).
>
> In our audio tours for temporary exhibitions, we have worked with
> Acoustiguide and Antenna, so that's where I'm looking first. Has anyone
> had an excellent or unsatisfactory experience with either of these for
> permanent collection projects, or is there another company you'd
> recommend?
>
> If you've been involved with a similar project, please let me know if
> you'd be willing to discuss it over the phone--I'd love to ask about
> optimal number of stops per gallery, considerations in object selection,
> approaches to content, pitfalls to avoid, etc.!

> Thanks,
