There have been enough fires in non-sprinklered museum buildings to leave no doubt but that they are the wise thing to install. If you have any doubts at all, contact Jim Secfik, director of the Louisiana State Museum (Cabildo fire in ??) or Brad Larson, director of the Oshkosh Public Museum (museum fire in 1994). I am sure that either one of them will give you an earful. Claudia Nicholson Curator Museum Collections Department Minnesota Historical Society 345 Kellogg Blvd. W.
