Hello list

I produce the Hidden Treasures Radio Project, which is a series of radio
features about museums that airs on NPR's All Things Considered and on
Studio 360.  (Last friday's ATC story about the proposed Las Vegas Mob
Museum was part of that series.)

Studio 360 - and arts and culture magazine - is doing a theme show about
DANGER and I'm looking for museums that may have objects or collections that
are rarely or never displayed because it would be too dangerous to do so.

Danger can be widely interpreted - is something considered too dangerous
because it's a loaded gun? Radioactive? Explosive?  Or perhaps considered
explosive because the information revealed by displaying that object would
be 'dangerous' or too controversial in a community?

Please let me know if you have ideas, objects, leads, etc.
