We're doing the same with our soon to open galleries - laminated colorful
handouts with paragraph interpretations and references to poems, songs,
other visual art, etc.  There will also be a catalog of the collection
available and a kiosk to access all objects in the collection.
We open in October, so we'll see how it turns out.
