Of course you have to behave, Kersti! In one exhibit I have a large lightbox
with an access hatch cleverly (?) designed as a ships' hatch. It is locked, but can be opened with sufficient applied force.
The only time that hatch is ever displaced is when a visiting museum
professional wants to see what's in there.
