Brian,

I think generally the bigger the exhibit is, the more limitations it
introduces and the idea is to remove limitations.  Also, Key Ingredients
has raised issues about shipping and crate storage that the smaller
exhibitions don't.

Hi Brian,

Wish I could have been among the Momsers last week in Savannah, as I
know you surely had a grand time.

Speaking for Louisiana museums, I feel that 800 sq. feet is REALLY
pushing it for the host sites.  I have seen a good number of Louisiana
museums in rural settings by now, and I can tell you that most of them
would have a hard time reconciling their space with the Yesterday's
Tomorrows space needs.  It may have something to do with the fact that
most of them don't have auxiliary space to house "off-exhibit" stuff.


So much for my two cents...

LouAnn

Hey MoMsers
just a couple of quick notes and a question for you all --

Booking letters for upcoming MoMS tours were sent from the Federation
more than a week ago (the letter outlines opportunities for scheduling
any of the ongoing MoMS exhibitions as well as the newest exhibit,
Between Fences). The deadline for responses is December 15. If you
haven't seen this packet in your office, please let us know and we'll
see that one comes your way.

The MoMS staff met a couple of weeks ago; we had very exciting
presentations from SITES project directors for exhibitions currently
in
development. As a result, we had a conversation regarding the optimal
size for MoMS shows, but thought we'd throw the question out for your
comments. Is 500 square feet too small (Barn Again)? Is 800 square
feet
too big (Key Ingredients)? What's ideal for the exhibition hosts in
your
towns? Forward your comments on- or off-line, we'd love to know your
preferences.

Finally, as you can, please change my email address from
[log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>  to
[log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> . Thanks.

It was good seeing many of you in Savannah this past week, and for
those
that didn't make it, we missed you most of all.

All the best,

Brian
