Field Note |
|
|
| Museum professionals are always busy, and
since there seems to be no end to the laundry list of to-do items, the most urgent
issues take priority. The often quieter winter season is a good time to work on
some of the not-so-urgent issues--such as revamping an exhibit. Are there a few
labels that could use a fresh look? Collections pieces that could
use a rest? Environmental controls that need tweaking? |
