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

We have two exhibits with magnetic sand where the visitors can touch the
sand.  We have at least seven exhibits where the public can touch the sand.
The only issue is that the sand migrates to other exhibits and tends to
cause them to abrade and wear faster.

I mean they still let children play in sand boxes and at the beach, right?
