The Barnum Museum holds a world of wonders. From Tom Thumb’s miniature boots and carriages to ethnographic materials from cultures the world over, the museum’s collection is a veritable cabinet of curiosities. Even the most mundane seeming items have interesting stories regarding their use, creation, display, or history…and some are fakes which also weave an intriguing tale. Join us for Talking About Preservation on October 30th when Dr. Daryn Reyman-Lock, curator of the Barnum Museum, will show us a behind the scenes view of the museum’s eccentric collection shelves- and an update on the Building’s major renovation work!
