We don’t currently use them but I’ve seen them used at other museums before - normally they’re pretty handy and secure (especially if they’re lockable). The one drawback is it can take longer for the students to find their stuff at the end especially if it’s at the bottom. This can be somewhat alleviated by having several cages so belongings are more spread out. I actually find bins and cages easier to use than coat racks and hangers, especially with younger children.
