I recall using the word "frisson" in my posting correcting the identification
of slave shackles in Fred Wilson's "Mining the Museum" show as being made of
silver. However, for some reason I have not received Museum-L messages for
the last ten days or so. I've just had to re-subscribe. What have I missed?
(I meant to add that if anyone is still curious about this exhibition, my
museum happens to have a few of the Maryland Historical Society brocures left,
which I could send to anyone by snail-mail. One photo in the brochure
actually shows the metalwork case and shackles in question.)
