Hi, Robert:

I attended a session on that very topic at the recent American
Association of Museums conference in Los Angeles.  Donna Braden of The
Henry Ford Museum spoke of their plans for reinterpreting their
collections--very intriguing.  The High Museum of Art in Atlanta also
did a presentation on their recent gallery renovations and addition of
computerized interactives to interpret the collections.

Good luck,

Melanie Solomon
Curator of History
The Springfield Museums
