Peter,
The Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma has open storage with very few
labels. It's not fancy with computer stations and such (not since
I've been there anyway). You might want to talk to them!

Would anyone know of recent or
current projects to build extensive open storage facilities, either in
North America or elsewhere in the world that
are secure and yet allow visits by the public without an
escort.
I would also be curious if anyone is aware of an open storage facility,
new or old, that includes interpretive components (labels, computer
stations
with a data base of information, audio tours, image projections, etc.)
that allow the objects on display to 'speak for themselves' without a
personal
guide.
Thanks very much for any suggestions that you might have.
