Mallory has taken this neat panoramic photo of our wall as of yesterday afternoon (this photo also appears along with others in the photo gallery at the bottom of her blog). Our team has spent a lot of time in the museum during the past week getting our wall and display cases organized.
George's timeline is the one above the parallel line, and Alice's is the one below. With Dr. C's input, we eventually settled on a more "organic" feel with some of the images and text panels crossing over the line slightly. The Italian sunshade makes an eye-catching centerpiece.
Not shown in the photo are our large case, where such items as the cake cover, flower pressings, and horse hair brushes will be displayed; and the coffin case, which features small artifacts from the Grand Tour and Alice's subsequent travels. We used old shawls which Carrie procured to line the bottom of the coffin case.
Also not pictured: the Japanese lantern, which hangs above the coffin case. We will be installing a battery operated tealight in it on Monday; although the display is very close to complete, that and other small tasks will keep us busy tomorrow afternoon. The following day, the exhibit opens! Good luck to all the teams in the final push to wrap up installation.
