Dear Amy:
When your posting appeared on ARLIS-L last month, I
emailed the person who is in charge of the ADA program at LACMA and she must
have been out of town because she just now got back to me with the following:
There are two
publications
that may be of interest.
1. Everyone's
Welcome. The Americans with Disabilities Act and Museums,
Prepared for
the American Association of Museums, Washington, DC.
(www.aam-us.org)
2.The Smithsonian Guidelines for Accessible Exhibition
Design.
202-786-2942.
These publications directly address the
placement of art, the wall text,
etc. I'm sure if you contact these
places directly they can help you.
Hope this is help.
