New Public Outreach Resource
The museum is closed to the public but curators are still hard at work (from home). For those curious about their heirlooms, pieces of artwork, objects found while cleaning up, etc. the museum is introducing a new online Object Information Request Form. Members of the public can submit the form and museum staff will be in touch to help identify objects, find research and offer conservation resources. To learn more visit scmuseum.org.
