"Would you think it's possible to found the museum operating company and do business like chain-stores or hotels (it must be "profit", but may not earn much)?" Are you asking to create a holding company for existing museums or a company to create new museums? As no two museums are a like. They may operate vary similarly but running them as a Wall Mart would surely destroy all of them. ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
