David, creationism exhibits are definitely out there, as are
textbooks. There are some very good texts on both the
pseudoscientific nature and the U.S. cultural history of
creationism. Check out the following:
A personal (mine, in part) experience with creationists:
<http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/paluxy/tooth.html>
The "Rev." Baugh's own museum at Glen Rose, TX:
<http://home.texoma.net/~linesden/cem/cemindex.htm>
The home page, museum URL, and graduate curriculum at the
Institute for Creation Research in Santee, California:
<http://www.icr.org/>
<http://www.icr.org/museum.htm>
<http://www.icr.org/abouticr/tenets.htm>
...and, last but best, the National Center for Science
Education:
<http://www.natcenscied.org/>
I think the chances for a joint exhibit are slight, based on
my experience over the years with creationists.
