What have you done with my museum?
Though naturally we are aware that the former Museum space is being gutted, the reality of seeing it empty is still pretty strange for most of us here. In the last blog of this series we showed you the empty cafeteria space that will become the new Museum, as well as some images of the old Museum as it was at the time: stuffed with odds and ends of exhibit cases, the occasional display still on the walls. Now those odds and ends are gone and we are right down to the drywall and lighting fixtures. Soon even the walls will be gone and the space will be ready for its new purpose. It’s rather melancholy, really. I had no idea it was so big. Take a last look.
We want to hear from you! Do you have an idea for a blog post you’d like to see?
