I wouldn't put historic costume on a _moving_ manequins for one of the reasons I wouldn't put it on myself: moving can put strains on the fabric. At least the manequin can't sweat. But does it get hot? Personally, I find these things a bit embarrasing, a hallmark of the more money than sense tourist attraction. That's probably just me. There are probably those who hate interactive videos and audios, which I like, providing they don't carry the main weight of the exhibition. -- Patricia Reynolds [log in to unmask]
