Deb, Not quite what you were asking about but the V&A has been looking at its carbon footprint : http://www.vam.ac.uk/about_va/reports_plans/carbonwatch/index.html More recently it has been studying the impact of travelling exhibitions where it turns out the impact has been unexpectedly low. This work has yet to be published. Best wishes Gail
