The Dartmouth Museum (Nova Scotia)some years back did an exhibit entitled "Dartmouth's Memorable Women" where a call was put out to the community for nominations. I believe schools were able to include the project in their curriculum as a research/history activity. The top 100 responses were chosen and profiled in the exhibit. As the community at large selected the women, there were no hard feelings towards the museum. >From: Cindy Gardner <[log in to unmask]> >Reply-To: Museum discussion list <[log in to unmask]> >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Criteria for exhibit inclusion >Date: Tue, 13 Mar 2007 13:13:41 -0600 > >We are in the planning stages for the new Museum of Mississippi History and >we are looking for criteria used when doing an exhibit on "celebrities" >from the state.
