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? ************************************************************************** Mark Nielsen Exhibit Designer/Preparator University of Michigan Museum of Art [log in to unmask] 313/647-2068
