Hi Sharon - If folks only experience with the Museum is via the staff, then
I would like to suggest that perhaps the staff are not completely doing
their job..isn't it all of our jobs to 'sell' our museums to potential
visitors?  My advice would be to hold fast on no objects in offices and
coach the staff on how to get folks into the gallery.  Just my 2 pence.

Best, VivianLea

Hi,

 

I know this has been discussed before, but I beg some help with an answer.
I  have been asked about the use of collections objects in staff offices, in
part to enhance the visibility of our collection to those whose only
experience with the Museum may be with the staff in their offices. Feedback,
please?

 

Thanks
