Dear Lisa, We evaluate all potential outloans from our collection by having the borrower fill out the Standard Facilities Report developed by the Registrar's Committee of AAM. One question specifically asks if food and drink are allowed in exhibition galleries. It is highly unlikely that we will loan to a borrower who allows this practice. We do not allow food or drink in our exhibition galleries and say so in our Facilities Report. So- thank goodness, I have no horror stories to report from my institution. Sincerely, David Ryan Registrar Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum www.cspm.org ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
