Remko, I don't know what you need to say on your signs or how many you need, but it's pretty easy to make them yourself. If you contact me offline, I can make some suggestions. I see Barbara Hass's website offering blanks to print yourself, but it's not hard to make your own. While I can understand the need to put velvet ropes across your chairs, in less formal parts of a house museum you can put appropriate objects on the chairs. We have a piece of knitting on one chair, with the needles stuck into the ball of yarn. In a young boys' room, we have a pair of moccasins sitting on another chair. In the workroom, there are bits of yarn and weaving on some of the benches. People don't sit on those, and it adds a personal touch. I don't know what your museum is like, so I don't know if this is an appropriate suggestion. Best regards, Anne T.

What type of cords would you recommend to put over chairs to prevent visitors from sitting down? Can you recommend a vendor? For do not touch signs I am looking for tent cards that do not collapse onto themselves, but I cannot find them anywhere. Any suggestions? Thank you for all tips and recommendations.
