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

People are recording their own ("unofficial") audio tours of museums,  
and publishing them on the internet as podcasts, for anyone to  
download.

For instance:
Go to MoMA with an alternative audio tour on your MP3 player:

Wow!  What a concept!
The possibilities are endless.

I think an intelligent design tour of a natural history museum would be  
very interesting.
