Hello, Listers - I am looking for anyone who has firsthand experience mounting a chandelier for an exhibit. We are working on a couple of different schemes and are looking for advice on which is the most feasible and whether we are overlooking anything obvious. I can reply and provide additional details and photos of the chandelier in question off-list, but in general terms it is a two tier, cast iron chandelier with scrollwork and chains connecting each tier to a central ring. It was likely originally used with candles but has since been electrified. We are NOT interested in rewiring it or having it appear lit in any way - we plan to highlight it with the track lighting we have in our gallery - and though the chains that it hung from originally are still in good shape, we will not be mounting it from them for safety and artifact preservation concerns. The exhibit will not be permanent - it will be up for 1 year. I do have a local electrician coming to throw in his two cents, but would like a museum perspective if anyone has dealt with this before. Thanks in advance. Jamin Landavazo Chief Curator Reno County Museum 100 S. Walnut Hutchinson KS 67501 (620) 662-1184 Kansas Underground Salt Museum 3504 E.
