Mariana;

As my system does not let me pick up yur own email address, I fear I must
respond through the list.

The two museums I know that are most interested in Antarctica are:

The International Antarctic Centre, located next to the airport in
Christchurch, New Zealand. Christchurch is the jumping-off point for
expeditions to Antarctica and the Centre is a joint US-NZ-French (I think)
operation which has a very well done visitors' centre, where the models
could
be displayed to advantage.

Another possibility is the Canterbury Museum in downtown Christchurch,
which
includes the history of Antarctic exploration in its mandate.

If interested, please contact me at [log in to unmask] and I
will
give you contact names and information.
