@Oakville_Museum Great low-tech protection from the harmful effects of light degradation. 🙌🏻

[Oakville Museum @Oakville_Museum]

Today is #AskAConservator day! Send us your conservation questions & we’ll answer them for you! Caring for a museum collection takes detailed & patient work. When storing artifacts in our collection we use acid-free materials that have good aging properties & will not harm them.

My pupper Charlie would visit as many museums as he could, if he was allowed. Hope you can check out some museums in the last few days of #ONMuseumMonth ! @museumsontario

@TownOfMiltonON Will the Town be installing more garbage/recycling/compost bins within communities and parks so this can be done more easily?

[Cindy Colford @cindycolford]

@AmeliaEMFay It’s like they knew you would be in the position one day 💕

@CAC_ACCR Charlie wasn’t so keen to get up for Saturday morning sessions 😂

At the core of museums are the collections they steward for the communities they serve. They are built, researched,and interpreted by curators; documented, cared for & managed by collections & conservation staff; and shared through exhibits & programs. #InternationalMuseumDay

So many interesting objects have been donated (so far) to the @ManitobaMuseum “COVID collection”. It would be great to add a vaccine bottle 💉@roussin_brent @jossreimer @WinnipegRHA @MBGov

[Manitoba Museum @ManitobaMuseum]

In the coming decades will the COVID-19 pandemic become a significant cultural memory, or will we begin to suffer from historic amnesia? Read about what the Museum is “Collecting Today for Tomorrow” in this recent blog: https://t.co/VSKD8WVUfP
