It would be worthwhile to contact Ralph Appelbaum Associates
here in New York about how they developed the content of the
Holocaust Memorial. Questions about how to display a Nazi
flag and other sensitive material were solved through a very
long process. Ralph speaks very movingly about the process.
 
They also did the new rooms in the AMNH with a paleontologist
on the design staff. He taught me to be sure to ask the
cleaning crew before you start building things.
 
I think it's what's called sharing authority.
