    Other than stickers what do other museums or houses use to identify a visitor in the space?  Stamp? Clip? Ticket?

    Are wristbands still used? I wonder if those popular rubber-ish bracelets (made popular by Lance Armstrong's yellow ones) are viable. They're also a souvenir that way.

    At some our sites in the Minnesota Historical Society sites network, we use wrist bands to help identify visitors and the experience they have signed up for. At the Minnesota History Center, there are parts of the building that don't require admission like the store/cafe and researchers using the library. Visitors to the museum exhibits need a wrist band. Similarly, Split Rock lighthouse uses different patterns (solid, stripe, dots) on the wrist bands to distinguish grounds passes, visitors who paid to access the interior of historic buildings, and specialty tour visitors. Colors rotate depending on the day.

    Many historic houses have moved away from stickers because the adhesive ruins delicate upholstery and wallpaper. Common alternatives include colorful silicone wristbands, high-quality cardstock lapel tags with a simple metal clip, or even a classic ink stamp on the back of the hand. If you have a high-tech budget, some spots use lanyards with a reusable plastic pass that you drop in a bin on your way out.
