<p>Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>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
<i>is </i>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?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Best,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Bill<o:p></o:p></p>
