Hello-
I was hoping someone might be able to help me with a question my museum is
currently grappling with.  As part of a larger installation project, we are
planning to reconstruct a former carriage shop in the gallery, complete with
working machinery (i.e. belts and wheels turning, etc.) if possible.  Does
anyone have or know of any exhibits that use working/ moving machinery or
parts? And if so, what sort of safety precautions are required to ensure the
safety of visitors and staff (i.e. are these working machines behind glass,
etc.).  Any information on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much.

Sincerely,
Caren Hauptvogel, Curatorial Assistant
The Long Island Museum
