Greg:  Oooops!! How about non-profit, public, private,
adult, children, historical, art, technological, business,
corporation, living history, archealogoical, national park,
educational, film, media, natural science, holocaust,
Native American, federal, state, local, city and any
other type of museum I missed.

I'm doing a report, and realized that they are popping
up daily, and wanted to make as close as estimate as
possible.  Sorry about that, yes, there are many kinds
of museums, as the current conversation is going concerning
profit and not-forprofit musuems.

Take care.
