Dear GEMers,
Does anyone have any tried and tested examples of ‘please don’t touch’ type labels which are polite, non-patronising and respectful of visitors' good sense? Or indeed any other cunning techniques you are willing to share?
Personally, I’m rather reluctant and would prefer to concentrate on the more positive message of telling visitors which items they
can touch, inviting them to interact. However, it seems we may have to put ‘please don’t touch’ type labels on some items of collection which are particularly vulnerable and visitors will get close-up to, in our new Conservation Studio.
If anyone has any examples of wording, use of symbols etc. I’d be very grateful!
Have a lovely weekend.
With best wishes
Esther
