During my first internship I helped move objects back into the museum after it
was renovated. Unfortunately the textile collection was infested with
insects while temporarily stored in warehouses. The museum did not have a
temperature regulated freezer so, the curator needed to think creatively. She
convinced the local high school to let us use their freezers. Of course, we
had to keep it a secret! The process was successful (but time consuming) and
no one found out about it.
