Dear List,

I've recently been corralled into assisting with an article for National
Geographic Traveler magazine .. and I'm now requesting the kind assistance
of the list .. the mission? .. To help me locate .. evidence that
demonstrates a trend within the the museum community towards .. NOSTALGIA
ORIENTED themes..

E.G. "museum XYZ finds attendance up for exhibit on Mr. Potato Head" .. or
"2002 will see 20% more traveling exhibits with 1950's themes" .. in other
words, cold hard facts that may serve to demonstrate that museums are
riding the "wave of nostalgia that is .. gripping the nation".

Or so I've been told ;-)
