Greetings! Has anyone had any experience (positive or negative) with museum mascots? Are they useful in creating a 'presence' in the community? Or are they simply an expensive marketing tool? Can they be developed to link the community with gallery/museum spaces and thus become an interpretive device? It seems lots of museums are developing mascots, and I'm curious about the benefits to a potentially costly committment. I'd love to hear your opinions. Reply personally or to the list. Hurry, before I lose more sleep! Thanks, Judy Koke [log in to unmask]
