Thank you to "Memphis" for suggesting the MuseumPods site. I knew something like this was out there. I found a podcast from the Horniman Museum in London, England, titled The Music of Punjab. The podcast relates to a recent exhibition called Utsavam - Music of India. In addition to learning about the musical instruments used in bhangra music, I now know that Punjab literally translates to "five water" and that there are five rivers in the Punjab region of India.
Podcasts are an excellent educational tool. The VHS should explore creating podcasts for use in permanent and temporary exhibitions. Podcasts could be designed for use in the building or as stand alone educational material for people who cannot easily visit in person. The possibilities are really endless.
