$8 Tour the labs and storage at the Indiana State Museum to discover how the Conservation staff integrates workflows with the Collections Management and Exhibits departments. Talk with staff members about the lab’s remotely controlled overhead camera system, which is used for photo-documentation of large textiles; the system is an invaluable tool in our ongoing effort to condition report the entire textile and costume collection. Plus, get a rare glimpse into our paleontology prep lab, which will highlight treatment and mounting activities as we prepare for our upcoming exhibit, Elephant Graveyard: Mastadonts and Mammoths in Indiana. Note the Indiana State Museum and the Indiana Historical Society are next door to each other. It is possible to take both tours and it will make for a great afternoon.
