Dear Colleagues, We have an upcoming exhibit of our historic collection of Native American basketry. Our exhibit designer would like to display the baskets on a bed of sand. If we use good clean sand, the only downside I can think of is the abrasiveness of the sand on the basket fibers. If we don't grind the fibers into the sand, gently place them on it, and carefully vacuum them post-exhibit, is there anything else wrong with this picture? As always, thank you for any insight into this matter. Sincerely, David Ryan Registrar Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum www.cspm.org ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
