Completion of the exhibit

The exhibit is almost finished with three days left until it opens. All the artifacts have been setup inside cases and all that remains to be done is touch up work such as cleaning figure prints off of glass cases and painting over small chips on cases. In the process of setting up the artifacts in cases I learned how much care needs to be used to transport artifacts from storage to the exhibit halls. Even strudy object like helmets and bayonets needed to be handled with extreme care.

  1. You certainly are further along with the exhibition than the museums I have worked at! Is there a link to the description of the exhibition that you can post? How about some images of the exhibition that you could add to your next blog post?
