Paying Attention to Collections Care

For years now I have been saying that what reality TV needs is a show about conservation emergencies. Like Conservation 911 or something like that. No one else has ever been all that enthusiastic about my idea--not even conservators and fellow collections staff. That's okay, though, because I feel like conservation and collections care are getting their due at least a little bit though thanks to this article in the NY Times about the conservation needs and struggles throughout the museum world. Thanks, New York Times!
