Hey Yann, I tried getting in touch with people there a long time ago. Then I realized my best bet would be to get in touch with Mallika Sarabhai, the activist/entrepreneur whose family owns the museum and runs it. She is a progressive person and might be excited by this idea of putting Calico museum on the Wikipedia map. I'll try look for her contact details but your best bet would be to write to her on Facebook and tell her about this. I hope this helps. Cheers Noopur
