brief reply - if led by well trained docents do not really need labels -
would not put labels on an artifact.

Subject: labels in historic site museums


I would like some reactions about a proposal to use informational labels on
machinery and artifacts in our working historic grist mill museum, where
tours are led by docents.  Do you consider this to be helpful or
distracting?  Any feedback would be appreciated.
