Considered it...have used it for specific installations but not for general
background music.  The problem has been allotting the task of monitoring the
machinery to someone--nobody has the time to devote to checking it every so
often on a regular basis.

Subject: question


Have any of the art museum folks out there made attempts to have recorded
music in your galleries on a daily basis for the run of an exhibit?  If so
what have your responses been from your audience?  Your board?  Has there
been a problem with choosing music to suit a range of visitors?  If you have
not done this but considered it what has held you back?  I am a curator at a
community art museum of American art and our board and director want to
consider adding music or other sounds to our exhibits so I thought I would
put the question out on the museum discussion list and see what all of you
wonderful professionals had to say.  Many thanks!
