I've been intersted in this discussion. We (at the Austrlian
          Museum in Sydney) are having an exhibition called
          "Rediscovering Pompeii", which we are bringing in from
          Italy. The exhibition is an important marriage of of
          technology and culture, using extensive computer
          interactives together with over 200 objects. The
          informatuion technology is not merely an adjunct to the
          exhibition, but a thread tying all parts together.
 
          In trying to design the exhibition space we wanted to see
          whethre there was any research about integrating computers
          into exhibitions - not in the "educational" sense, or
          developing them from scratch, of which there is a broad
          lietrature, but actually PHYSICALLY integrating them
          (lighting, noise, placement, traffic flows, etc).
 
          Has anybody out there have any experience with this with any
          tips about what we should watch out for?
 
          Thanks.
