I have read with interest the discussions about visitor signage and agree that museums must protect their exhibits and artifacts - and proper signage is a good way.  But I might suggest (particularly if your institution serves a large population of children and/or families) that you frame things in a positive manner, rather than having a list of "don'ts" and "no's."  Museums in general have a reputation of being unwelcoming and elitist and by telling a visitor right off the bat all the things he or she CAN'T do, you may be setting the wrong tone.
