I love foam core, either with spray or self adhesive.  Using it and a color copy machine you can 
make quick inexpensive displays, but self adhesive or not it doesn't wear well.  I regularly see 
displays which have been up too long, and the foam core is failing.  It seems it is ok for 6 
months, but not for 2 years.

All of us have too much to do and it is easy to ignore the aging displays... but as a visitor, it 
is a real obvious flaw in what may otherwise be a great museum.  By the way, I have left displays 
up too long, and know how easy it is to ignore peeling edges when its your own display and you 
trying to do too many things.
