HAH! Its all coming up Milhouse. I just this moment had kind of an epiphany about what I'm going to do for my program at the Art Gallery of Ontario. Its beautiful

AND it probably solves some of the problems you were telling me about with having a gallery wide scavenger hunt, namely that its way too large a place. Good idea!
annoying snag in the plan: the AGO only allows photography is designated areas - not any areas with art in them, just like the atrium and hallways and stuff. Its a pretty stupid policy - they say it is because canadian copyright law prohibits people from taking pictures of the art, but this isn't true. I had a whole class on copyright law and its pretty clear that if reproduction is for personal, non-commercial use, it is fine. stupid ago's stupid policy ruining stupid everything....grrr. I can still work the idea though.
Having pictures would be nice, but do you need them? Can always just say that AGO won't allow it. Copy/paste from their website for some general ones maybe
well, my plan was to make it a photo-scavenger hunt. Thats where the questions aren't just asking you to retrieve or locate objects, but to DO things, and take pictures of your team doing them as evidence - for example, the teams might be required to take a picture of themselves imitating the pose of a certain sculpture, or to photograph ten dogs in ten different paintings. I think taking pictures allows more interactivity than just writing down answers on a sheet, plus photo evidence makes judging much easier (otherwise, we'd have to make a list of every single painting that has a dog in it, and cross-check the answers with that list).
