I was recently a visitor to the Santa Fe Children's Museum, where I was
delighted to find a little slanted wooden table with a journal and a pen
tied to it beneath a sign that asked "What do you notice about the
behaviors of boys and girls at museum exhibits?"  I saw at least one
person writing in the book during my brief visit, even though it was not
in a very visible location.

	Can you let me know (off line and I will summarize) what you 
found is the best way of giving visitors voices (allow them to 
express opinions or feelings) in exhibitions. I know we've all tried 
various ways (books and post-its) but what in your experience worked 
well and conversely what should be avoided like the plague. And why 
would help for both.

Sincerely,

Martin
