>> Hi All!
>>
>> I have one to add to the mix.  There is a fantastic science museum  
>> nestled in the heart of the University of Montana (Missoula, MT).   
>> They are called the spectrUM Discovery Area.  They have a small  
>> space (around 1,000 ft2 that can expand to 2,000 during events,  
>> classes, workshops, and they host a handful of exhibits from the  
>> Exploratorium that rotate every year), are strategic when they are  
>> open (I think one or two  evenings a week for the public, more for  
>> school visits, and on weekend days), and pack their space full of  
>> really deep activity.  They consider their museum the whole  
>> community, and are active all around town, engaging people in the  
>> strangest of spaces with their Super Science Squad and Tent of  
>> Science.  It's an interesting model that they've set up there.
