Stephen,

At core, there are ideas that have museological implications in these
messages -- about human nature, the world in which we live, the
assumptions we make about our visitor's base knowledge and capacity to
comprehend, etc.

How about contributing content (rather than stilted humor) to this
discussion?  What are your thoughts concerning the 'peace museum'?  Or
how about war and war museums?

Sincerely,

j heuman

Education costs money, but then so does ignorance.
