Colleagues: My museum is rethinking ways to keep the visitors at a reasonable distance from paintings (or anything else hung on the walls). Possibilities include curtain alarms, kick plates, (stanchions are kinda crude and heavy handed for us), and metal bars coming up from the floor. What else is out there? Could you please let me know what you use? If you don't have a manufacturer/vendor name, could you please describe what you use? Also, A BIG FAVOR, PLEASE!....... Please respond directly to me at [log in to unmask] as I must sign off the list for a few days since I will be away on a business trip. When I get back, I will consolidate all responses and post back to the list. Thank you very much (in advaance) for being obliging me on this one!
