Lisa, We do have music in our galleries fairly regularly, but only when it is appropriate for the exhibit. For example, we have had military themed music in our exhibit on war brides. But as far as just random music with no significance as it pertains to what the visitor is otherwise experiencing? No. Hope this helps!

" Be nice to the archivist, or she'll erase you from history!" - Anonymous From: Museum discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Lisa Chastain Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2012 11:31 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Music in exhibits Listers, My director has put to me a request for 'regional music' in all of our exhibits. Now, as I curator I balked at the idea of breaking themes of my galleries with random music that has nothing to do with the exhibit ie. A military exhibit or a doctors exhibit. I was wondering of your opinions concerning music in galleries/exhibits, do you have music, have you rejected the idea and why? Any opinions would be helpful! Thank you!
