I sent a post out a few days ago asking for responses to the idea of
having the gift shop located in the lobby area of the museum. I got a few
good responses but I was hoping to get more. So far the responses are all
in favor of the lobby location. Some interesting issues for discussion:
Does the gift shop have an educational potential?  Would the shop create a
good transitional space between the world and the museum?
