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

Forgive me for again drawing attention to the sale of all contents of the
Big Idea, the new, excellent, but remotely located, interactive 'inventor
centre' in Scotland, UK, which has closed down.

An enormous quantity of beautifully produced exhibitry, furniture and 
equipment is being disposed of and can be examined photographically online. 
If interested, please make direct contact, as quickly as possible, using 
the email address shown in the online catalogue: www.interactives-sale.com

It now seems that the building could be completely cleared at any time
after the end of October. It would be a tragic waste if any of this
wonderful stuff were not recycled.

Numerous offers have been received from all over the world. Most, but not
all, have been of a piecemeal nature and nothing of broader scope has yet
been finalised for the exhibition contents as a whole.

Time appears to be running out for saving and recycling this material as a
functional whole, so it would be helpful if people could forward this
message immediately to anyone who might possibly be interested.
