Hi All.

We are working on an exhibit showing how soap films form minimal surfaces and
in general would like to illustrate math concepts using soap bubbles.  Will
you help us by telling us what exhibits exist at other museums, especially
having mathematics connections?

We would like to contact those places for advice on devices for making
particular bubble "assemblies", controlling evaporation, handling the mess if
visitors handle bubbles, how to form difficult surfaces such as Costas-Hoffman
minimal surface.

Thanks for your help.
