Has anyone had experience with health regulations in regards to
dress-up areas in museums?  We are in the process of designing our
Discovery Center have a few questions about a dress-up area.  I have
not been able to find any state health regulations that apply.  I
have been thinking that it would be easiest to have a few pieces of
clothing, but not a whole outfit -  for example the jacket from a
repro. Civil War uniform.

I would like to know...

How often do you wash the costumes?  How often do they need
replacement based on a regular washing schedule?

Are there (for those of you in the US) any state or federal
regulations or guidelines for this type of area?

Thanks in advance for your help.
