Warning:  This museum is built upon a giant magnet.  Throughout the museum
we also have built in magnetic fields nearly everywhere: in speakers,
motors, wires, I-Pods, and even if the atoms that make all the stuff in the
museum.  We also need you to be aware that in every part of the museum you
will be subjected to constant bombardment with electromagnetic radiation.  

Sorry, but I could just not resist,
