Hello! We here at the McCord are in the preliminary stages of planning an exhibition on x-rays. A section of the exhibit is planned to demonstrate how x-rays can be used in museum research, conservation, etc. At present we have plans to x-ray a mummy and a painting (for layers of paint, etc.). I have a question to pose: if you could choose an object from a collection of historical, dec arts, fine arts, ethnographic materials, what would you select for x-raying, and why? At present cost is not even an option, so please fantasize. I am particularly interested in objects that would be obviously educational and interesting, showing the fine points of x-ray technology while indicating its usefulness to the museum commnunity and researchers, conservators, etc. Any help would be really appreciated; we're brainstorming as we speak!
