Hello all.
We have several instances of various objects being lent to local historic homes and public offices for public display.  Some of these loans lasted 40 years.  Over the course of the loan, some objects were switched in and out.  I am debating on how to handle this in the exhibition module.  I currently have two ideas on how to handle these records.
1. I can have one exhibition record for the span of all the loans, and use the Venue section to separate out different times and use the include/exclude function to separate which objects were there at different times.  
2. Or, I can make a separate exhibition record for each time there was a change in objects.  

Any ideas or suggestions or a better way I haven't thought of yet?

Thanks
