I've worked in less than stellar museums before - often the director/owner/curator has one specific interest and refuses to change anything at all - even the exhibit that has been up and not changed in 25 years.Isabellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01420037377392425312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-148301208915043821.post-83441421963602556082013-05-14T18:57:38.565-04:002013-05-14T18:57:38.565-04:00WOW you captured all of my rage in your descriptio...WOW you captured all of my rage in your description!! Some people just don't or can't understand the value and significance of vestiges of a bygone lifestyle...that's why this summer, I'll be volunteering at my town's museum to re-display the antique dresses (ranging from mid victorian to 1950s) there. The small, forgotten museum even has a Victorian nightgown labeled as a wedding gown, and a beaded 1920s dress hanging on a mannequin--huge horizontal shatters have already appeared in the back of the dress. And worse, about 10 of these fragile silk gowns are displayed directly under a massive skylight!! Arghhh!Gabriela Salvadorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14959295963125836458noreply@blogger.com
