ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************

At our mummy, we ask visitors their opinions of having a mummy on  
exhibit.  Visitors write their comments on file cards and "mail" the  
card in a nearby box.  We go through the cards periodically and post  
the better comments in plastic sleeves in a 3-ring binder.  We get many  
thoughtful comments, and visitors spend time reading those we've  
selected to share.
