Giftshop for the ERC

[Jennifer_P]

Ametist said (over at the DZS forum):

...And yes, I'm sure The Medusa answers well to cultivating and that the 'glue' could be boiled down to a nice sweet paste There could be a little shop in the gallery in ERC, which sell bouquets with dried local herbs and bottles with 'Sweet Medusa Paste'

Wouldn't a little giftshop be fun to put it? It would probably be a smaller building in the gardens, separated off from the main museum (so as not to spoil dramatic effect upon entering the Age). Besides the sweet medusa spread and the dried herbs and flowers, we could sell maps of the Age (drafted by the GoC, I'd guess--do we really have to give them any money though?), Age-themed postcards, T-shirts, snacks, and jungle exploring gear. Any other products we could include in the line-up? Or do you think a giftshop would fit into the Age at all?

Giftshops are found in all museums. Usually in the lobby, maybe it could be put on the bottom floor off to the side somewhere. But it might be neat to browse through looking at various products of the Age, with descriptions written about them, perhaps by the DZS. It would just add more for people to look at when visiting.

We could just have a whole floor dedicated to plant species from various Ages. Whether they be paintings or sculptures or the real McCoy, with descriptions about them done by the DZS...

The person working in the shop should be named Seymour, who keeps a Medusa plant of his own (named "Audrey 2") in the back of the shop.

...and you know the rest...



Sorry - couldn't resist!

Bwa hahaha!
That was spot on Robert!!
Gift shop sounds like a great idea! seems like another way we could cultivate broad spectrum participation, which is of course what the ERC is all about >Grin<
