Hello Everyone:  I am looking for figures to tell me what has worked for 
museum exhibition and collection folks when planning for and using 
exhibition and support space.  This is for a general museum emphasizing art 
and history objects.  We plan to have a permanent collection (with growth 
potential) and changing exhibitions.  AS a result we will need both short- 
and long-term storage as well as a receiving dock, crate storage and 
exhibition prep areas.  I plan to meet with the architect on this subject 
in the near future and want to be prepared with an idea of generally 
acceptable ratios regarding support space to gallery space.  I can refer to 
my own experience in advising him, but would enjoy hearing from other 
museums and non-profit galleries on this subject.  Many thanks.  Feel free 
to contact me off list if you prefer at [log in to unmask]  Thank you!
