I work for a Chicago-based research and evaluation firm that works with
museums and other cultural and educational institutions, and I am helping
some colleagues prepare for an upcoming panel discussion. We are trying to
find examples of art or history museums that provide unique, behind the
scenes experiences for visitors. We are particularly interested in
institutions that offer visitors the opportunity to participate in the work
of the museum in some capacity -- not just to passively watch museum workers
(conservationists, collections managers, etc.) doing their work.

I'm wondering if anyone out there might know of any art or history museums
currently implementing something like this? Please let me know.

Thank you!
