Museum Presentation

I made a presentation on what we are doing at the Minnesota Discovery Center to our board. Below is a short version of that presentation which defines what museums are, notes some of our exhibit and object collections challenges, includes our solutions to those challenges. I have hyperlinked websites that I find useful. I hope that you can get something out of it too!

I will write an update on what we've actually done in the museum and how it's working on another blog. Look out for it!

What is this?: Found with Kitchen utensils

Wooden kitchen utensil, slant tip, round handle; found in collection

What is this object? Help us figure out what this object is. Have you ever seen anything like it? Typically when we find an object like this we try to figure out its use and purpose. It was found with kitchen utensils during our inventory, so we believe it is some kind of tool used in the kitchen. It's round, has a groove running down the center, slanted edge and round handle at the top.

What do you think it is?

Give to the Max

 

Minnesota is one of those great states that has so much funding sources, non profits, and progressive ideas to to make our communities better. Give to the Max for the Minnesota Discovery Center (click button above). Remember that we get a dollar for dollar match; double your community support!
