points of expertise

Thinking of Colin's map below, which delineates an area and higlights its points of scientific interests. To some extent, we may just have to shift|push the reception desk inside the border?

As a starting point, perhaps there [this] is a formal way of considering and mapping each individual museum|collection element as holding its own expertise and providing particular viewpoints? I have no visual reference point for phenomenography (can you show me?), but might the reception desk become a symbol for the expert booth if you tilt the view just a little? Actually, perhaps the desk needs to stay on the border, to be able to observe and record without judgement when things meet ... clash, and burn?
