I would suggest you contact Irene Lee Epstein, President of the Friends of Lyndhurst. They just began a "state of the art" audio progam. The Lyndhurst tel. # is (914) 631-4481. Richard de Koster Executive Director Constitution Island Asociation -----Original Message----- From: Museum discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]]On Behalf Of Alicia Griffin Sent: Friday, March 16, 2001 5:16 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Audio Tours I am writing to the list on behalf of the Crocker Art Museum. I am a volunteer assisting in the implementation of an audio tour of the museum's permanent collection and possibly touring exhibitions as well. We are interested in hearing from experienced, professional museum staff who have started similiar programs at their respective museums. We would like to know how the addition of an audio tour has impacted your museum. Success stories are welcome and we would appreciate any advice/commentary/references/referrals about the process of beginning such a program. Some of our concerns include: budgetary constraints, choosing the medium (cd, cassette tape), other technial concerns (radio interference w/security systems), organizational issues such as who writes the tour and who manages it, audience concerns (what age is it geared toward) and any other issues we might encounter.
