<<<From: Ruffin, Carrie [mailto:[log in to unmask]]
I disagree. I'm my mind, museums are any institution that supplies
information on topics through exhibition, example, and activities in order
to inform, educate, and entertain. This does not require a collection
merely imagination and ingenuity.>>>
Then Disneyland is a museum. Particularly in Tomorrowland (but also
elsewhere), there are plenty of rides and exhibits that teach/inform. I've
seen things like exploring the workings of a cell, US geography, the physics
of excercise, issues in city planning, geological history of the earth, a
lecture by Abraham Lincoln, etc.
