Spring, a time of renewal and time to
rethink museum displays. Our wildlife / taxidermy exhibit has been
in the main building for years. The wood is lighter in behind, so I
suspect it could be 20 years. It has now been moved to the hallway
adjoining the other major displays. I must say it really looks good
there.
Our new mannequins have arrived. Our
permanent war exhibit will house some of them. Now the problem is
fitting the new ones in, which seem to be slightly taller than the
old ones.
The summer exhibit featuring the 1950s
will be positioned where the wildlife exhibit originally was.
Cleaning and dusting exhibits seems to
always fall to our female members and what a fresh smell everything
had when they finished. So over coffee several of our female board
members poured over 1950s Eaton's catalogues doing preliminary
research. Although we do have some 1950s artifacts others will be
coming in just for the summer.
People will be pleasantly surprised
come the Strawberry Social on June 25th.
