Hi Audra:

I prefer a more open-ended approach, rather than putting people on the
spot.

By asking on Museum-L, those who wanted to provide a genuinely helpful
response chose to do so.  Those who want to remain silent may choose to
do so, rather than get stuck in a potentially awkward situation (i.e.,
if I contacted them directly and they do not want to discuss it).

Sincerely,

Jay Heuman
Visitor & Volunteer Services Coordinator
Joslyn Art Museum
2200 Dodge Street, Omaha, NE, 68102
342-3300 (telephone)   342-2376 (fax)

"You can’t lock up art in a vault and keep it frozen for posterity. Then
the artist is betrayed, history is betrayed."
(Walter Persegati)

wouldn't the Smithsonian have a list of affiliates?  I'm thinking you
could get this list and contact the institutions directly
