Disclaimer This simulation is based on the research and development of the Tradescant Rose & Museum and Garden (TRM&G) Narrative Report. The TRM&G, associated facilities, and staff are fictitious, but the issues faced are real and representative of many museums participating in the Museum Assessment Program. As much as possible, the TRM&G is represented realistically. Disclaimer600 Click BACK to return to previous slide Back Home
