If money is no object, (hahaha) there are some nice electronic reader boards
available....not sure exactly where they come from, but I've seen
them...they are hooked up to a computer so the message can be easily
changed.

We're looking into alternatives to our write-by-hand-on-whiteboard list
of the day's activities positioned near the entrance desk. We need to
list a changing assortment of on-floor events and demonstration for the
day, and want to be able to list new programs to try out on occasion.
Need also to list the time of the events. Be nice if the events that had
already taken place could be removed.

Our reasons for changing include wanting this first introduction to the
museum to look a bit more polished, but we want to retain the flexibility
(sometimes volunteer explainers come up with an idea in the morning for a
program to do at noon, and we don't want to discourage this by needing to
have a handsome sign made first).

What do the rest of you do to list the day's events for visitors?

thanks.
