Greg: Oooops!! How about non-profit, public, private, adult, children, historical, art, technological, business, corporation, living history, archealogoical, national park, educational, film, media, natural science, holocaust, Native American, federal, state, local, city and any other type of museum I missed. I'm doing a report, and realized that they are popping up daily, and wanted to make as close as estimate as possible. Sorry about that, yes, there are many kinds of museums, as the current conversation is going concerning profit and not-forprofit musuems. Take care. john nAt 07:23 PM 5/9/96 -0400, you wrote: >John Martinson wrote: >> >> A quick question. I read that in 1984, there were >> over 5,000 museums in America.
