To avoid the spread of FUD you must say what museum it was. There are a
number of private museums in Washington. For the Smithsonian, which is
owned by the people, the rules are as I stated above.

PeterN:
I do not recall which museum. It was definitely in DC, And was
definitely on the Mall, most likely the Calder as that is our favorite.
But, I am not certain which one. It is possible that the incident
happened where there was an exhibit on loan. I didn't then, and do not
now, consider the issue to be overly important. If my comment does nbot
satify you, there is nothing i can do about it.

Hmmm. There is no "Calder" museum on the National Mall, or anywhere
else in Washington, as near as I can determine. Must have been an
exhibit of privately owned works at one of the Smithsonian museums.

There is a list of Smithsonian museums here http://www.si.edu/Museums.


Here are some links. It looks like my memory was wrong about the Mall, but it is in DC.

Well, there is no Calder Museum in D.C. What you saw was a Calder
exhibition at the National Gallery & Museum of American Art, both NGA
affiliates of the Smithsonian. As is the Hirschhorn where there are some
Calder works on permanent display.
