What I find is interesting is that the children on a tour are more interested in the acrylic box of money than any of the objects around them.. > I work in a gallery located on a University campus within one of the > academic college buildings (we do not have our own separate building). I > have been frequently asked when giving tours if we accept donations, which > of course we do but simply do not have a formal station in the gallery to > receive them.
