Keni, do you mean exhibits on private collectors, or are you talking about museum collecting? We have an in-house exhibit up now in which we have featured unrelated and seldom-seen items from our own collection. The content is based upon four main concepts from our mission statement – Collect, Preserve, Research, Interpret. Each item has a label that addresses how we collected the item, what we have to do to preserve it, and how we have found and use information about it. We also have a section featuring locally significant items from private collections. This will be changed out periodically.
