[Nhcoll-l] Drones around real specimens?

[William Simpson]

Hi All,

I've just seen a promotional video taken by a drone flying inside a 
natural history museum, including getting close to real specimens such 
as mounted dinosaur skeletons.   What do you all think of this?  The 
video /is /a very engaging experience. I am mulling over what message 
this sends to the public about a museum's attitude concerning its 
responsibilities for professional care vs increased public exposure.  Do 
the benefits of such promotion justify this?

Best,

Bill
