That's a neat idea.  I saw an exhibit recently on my campus where the 
designer put rows of slides in a specially build "Japanese" decorative 
case. A light would come on behind the slides when you crossed a beam. 
The slides were "commercial" so the owner might have had plenty to 
replace them if they were damaged.  He even set out stereoptican cards 
to play with.  I enjoyed that--usually you don't get to handle the 
goods unless you happen to work in the repository. One of our students 
was passing when I was in the exhibit so I dragged her over to see 
these media objects I knew she'd never been exposed to.
