@NS_Museum @AskACurator Cancel the museum opening. I quit. #AskACurator

[Wilbur D. May Center @RenoMayCenter]

@theamoncarter Obviously it would be the collection of swords, knives, daggers, katanas, wakizashis, and tantos from Japan and China. Our asst. curator Samantha can vouch for how sharp they are. She sliced her finger open cleaning them once! 😬 #AskACurator

[Wilbur D. May Center @RenoMayCenter]

A: Yes! This year, Wilbur's daughter donated a very cool ranch saddle to the collection. We LOVE the nameplate with Wilbur's name. You can see it on display in the tack room. (Thanks to Katherine on Insta for the question!) #AskACurator

[Wilbur D. May Center @RenoMayCenter]

We’re ready! Ask us anything for #AskACurator day!
