Hi all,
I'm the curator of a small archaeological museum. We're trying to figure out an archivally responsible, relatively inexpensive, DIY way to hang some difficult objects. These include cradle boards, bows and arrows, spears, and a shield cover. Ideally, we would like to hang these directly onto the wall, as we are going for a complete coverage look in our new space. (We've been renovating for a year.) However, we haven't yet figured out how to do this without 1. damaging the object, or 2. spending more money than we can afford on our extremely limited move budget.
Another consideration is that we are trying not to do anything in our new space that would keep us from moving towards accreditation in the next 5-7 years.
Anyone dealt with these types of objects/problems/considerations before? We would appreciate any help or advice we can get!
Thanks,
Jenna Domeischel
