Amy, Several examples of mergers/takeovers come to mind beyond Cincinnati: The Louisiana Nature and Science Center in New Orleans became part of Audubon Institute. The Computer Museum in Boston went out of business. Some collections and exhibits went to the Museum of Science, Boston, and substantial collections went to the Computer History Center in Mountain View, CA. The New World Aquarium was absorbed by the Museum of Discovery and Science in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Mac West
