As a museum user, what I'd like to see is a brochure or book that
could be bought or borrowed that would have more info on the displays
- sort of a super label. I would like to see more than "Sword - Japan
ca. 17th century" on a display, but I also know that a lot (most?)
browsers wouldn't care to read more than that.
