Hello Geoff, Look to Canadian Museums in the National Capital Region (Ottawa/Gatineau) for some great examples of bilingual text.  We have pretty much figured this out.  I am curious though.  There seems to be some confusion about what you are talking about.  Is this with regards to bilingual labels in exhibitions or signage such as wayfinding signs?

Does anyone know of some great examples of bilingual signage in science or
other museums? I looking for suggestions that consider everything from
graphic design to cultural sensitivity. Any thoughts?
