Wrapping up the Mystery

This week I worked on finishing up with the mystery clock exhibit. The second draft of the exhibit text has been finalized and I discussed the physical layout and general appearance of the gallery with Katie. I copied images from books in the library that I think would be helpful to put on display with the objects. Hard copies of the images along with their corresponding descriptions were included in the second draft of the text. It looks like for now I have wrapped up this project and will be working on other things around the museum.

On Friday I helped enter names of cabinet makers into a database. I also spent some time in the workshop measuring posters which were given to us. The posters were created for an exhibit on Seth Thomas clocks and mostly featured portraits of the company’s founders and owners. Unfortunately, I only have one more week with the National Watch & Clock Museum, but I am curious to see what other work there is for me to do around the museum.
