Jheuman: Museum buildings falling apart? Well, if that is the case, then the museum should close until they can find the funds to keep their building in order. I used to work at an historical museum that needed serious renovations.. they have had to close down at times to save money or just not hire. A museum would run a serious risk of losing the rest of their visitors because they can't afford to keep up their facilities? When I worked at this museum, I have received complaints and seen very unhappy customers because of the condition of the facilities... word of mouth can make or break a business and looking at the fact they had to lay off many of their part-time help, that word of mouth probably was the culprit.
