A small suggest for future versions ... please align the Table of Contents with the summary provided in the preface. The preface states that "This book is organized into two parts. The first part, ... presents three approaches .... The second part .... presents four models ...." For my notes I wanted to quickly note what the 3 approaches and 4 models were before I continued reading but they were not directly stated in the table of contents. It's a small thing but could help with ease of study. Looking forward to new learning, practicing, and creating.

The exhibition is about Batik, Indonesian traditional textile, and visitors were able to experience the batik making within the exhibition. They loved it so much! Thanks very much! Dear Nina Simon,

I’m a frequent museum visitor, and I work for cultural orgs. I agree that an “unchanging” museum can sometimes feel irrelevant. In fact, you’ll find many people rotate their memberships (one year at the natural history, one at the art museum, one at the zoo). In addition to special programming, exhibits, etc. to create a sense of the new, I’d love for museums to showcase new ways of the embracing the old. For example, I visited American Natural History Museum last week. Amongst the old/familiar, I began to notice how the museum signage—when taken out of context—produced witty, sometimes even profound “statements.” In fact, their perspective affected my point of view on the collection in an interesting way. Here are photos of a few of the signs: http://bit.ly/9WJcSy. So, I stumbled upon an experience that reversed the thinking in points 1-4, maybe even 5.
