Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Tapa conservation
Does anyone know about caring for "Tapas", bark (I think) hangings or
mats
from polenesia? We have several of them and some are somewhat stiff and
not rolled up (yet), others are rolled up. Some have just come off
exhibit and are not going back on. I need to know what the best way for
storing them would be.
Thanks.
Beau
