useful phrases at the museum
Could you give me some examples of the verbal/conversational phrases which can be useful at the museum.
I'm interested in polite sentences.
These are my proposals:
Please remain quiet!
You mustn't touch it
Please, move/keep away from the exhibit (item)/display case.
Please, remain quiet.
Not this way, that way please.
We are closing in fifteen minutes.
All visitors are requested to proceed/head/direct to the exit.
Any other ideas?

All your examples are instructions or prohibitions to visitors. Is this what you mean - or do you also need the kind of conversation you might have when looking at exhibits?

I think that all phrases/dialogues might be useful. Not only instructions.

That last one is rather silly - unless there were an earthquake and the people were still milling around.

Are you just interested in official orders and notices? I think you've probably covered most possibilities for those.
For more conversational ideas, well, you need to use your imagination. Whenever I've been to a museum the staff there are happy to chat about all sorts of topics - not all of them directly about the museum. Last museum I went to I ended up trying to shuffle sideways away f

The staff discuss the displays, the plans for the museum's future and development, will recommend other places to visit, all sorts of things...

Any questions, plural
Switch off, with two f's.
Nona, seriously, in the UK, you would say, "All visitors are implored to proceed/head/direct to the exit"? Implored? That sounds like you've asked them six times and they just continue to mill about.
"Ladies and gentlmen, the museum will be closing in five minutes. Please make your way to the main exit at this time. Thank y
