Please excuse cross-postings. I know most of you are probably at AAM but please answer when you return.

We are in the process of working with a curator on new label and wall text for a gallery showcasing Asian Art. Education would like to introduce "questions for discussion" or "Things to think about" sections within the introductory wall text to add a more "participatory" flavor to the gallery. Curatorial wants to know who has done this and how it works.

Any information from museums that have tried this approach in their own institutions would be appreicated. Thanks.
