On the subject of donation boxes, I was in Glasgow recently and several of the museums there are using animated boxes that do something when you put money in, eg in Kelvingrove Museum & Art Gallery, ther is a model 'mummy' which sits up and speaks when you put money in, its made of recycled stuff & is made with a sense of humour - the work is called 'time flies' and there are two model flies made of alarm clocks which buzz & jiggle when fed money etc. Kids love it, it draws people towards it and it makes a noise you can hear all over the place so it drives staff mad. There have been technical hitches with this particualr one, but as a general idea, I think it's a good one. JaneMs F.J.
