Dear colleagues, Our museum is in the process of developing travelling exhibitions. My questions are for those that have dealt or are dealing with travelling exhibitions; - To what degree does the Conservator stay involved in a travelling exhibition? - Is there a need for the Conservator to examine the artefacts in between locations, after each transportation? - Does a Conservator go over to the other venues/museums to check on the facilities, to see if the environment for the artefacts will be the same or similar? (RH, Temp even safety wise) I could be overreacting to travelling exhibitions but I am much rather safe then sorry. Your candid reactions, on and off list, will be very much appreciated. Kind Regards, Roeland Stulemeijer Conservator National University of Singapore Museums E-mail: [log in to unmask] Tel: (+ 65) 6874 8817 Fax: (+ 65) 6778 3738 50 Kent Ridge Crescent Singapore 119279 _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
