Hi Tamara,
You might try getting in touch with Bill Parker in New Hampshire.  He's very experienced with them.  Particularly in museum settings.

I’d like to get a read on how robust they are, how long they last, how they have been used and operated, etc.  We’re considering including one in an exhibit, and would like to know if the less expensive off-the-shelf models can work, or if more expensive custom-made units are really required.  Recommedations on suppliers are welcome.
