I have seen a lot of "donor walls" in museums in a number of countries. The approach I like best is that taken by the San Diego Zoo, which spreads the donor recognition around the property. Each group of names is displayed in an architeccturally distinct way (different materials, layout, text treatment, etc.) from other groups. I liked the variety, which encouraged people to pay more attention than they would to the huge, impersonal walls used by so many institutions. I might be wrong, but I do not recall the San Diego Zoo differentiating in their recognition among donors of various levels of funding. That's smething else I like! An interesting approach is being taken by the Trans Canada Trail (a national hiking trail now under construction). Donors are being asked to sponsor one or more metres of trail length, with recognition in trail shelters dotted along the trail. An attractive idea. Harry Needham Canadian War Museum
