I was on the AAM panel focusing on museums in the movies and so am
probably guilty of being the person pleading for info on MUSEUM-L.
The "filmography" is published in this year's AAM source book, along
with the still-being-updated guide to murder mysteries and museums. I
could send you copies of these if you need them. As for our
findings...well, there is a tape of this session, or I could send some of
my notes from my part, but I do not have everyone's.

Part 3 of this work on popular culture and the public image of museums is
being planned for next year's AAM, with a session on museums in
children's literature . After that, we will either shut up or write a
book on the whole subject.
