Hi Mike!
I LOVE the British Interactive Group's exhibit aphorisms...Truly hilarious,
and many right on the point about exhibit development and visitor behavior.
I posted my favorite below, along with a link to their page.
Quick favor - would love to see what you come up with for your presentation.
Do you mind sharing when all's said and done?!?!?
Best wishes-
Samson

łThe Survival of the Dullest˛
(Stolen from Ian Simmons):
Good exhibits are popular, get used and therefore break down.
Dull exhibits donąt get used and so donąt break down.
Therefore all interactive exhibitions, if left to themselves, eventually
tend towards the dull
