A group of people stand in a large storage facility with tall metal shelving units holding machinery and equipment. A guide at the front speaks to them while one person in the foreground writes in a notebook. Overhead lights illuminate the organized aisles, and signs with the letter “G” mark the shelving sections.
Three students sit at a table examining a tray of labelled specimens. Two wear purple gloves, and one holds a long object while the others look on. Papers, a pen, and a notebook titled “FIELD NOTES” lie on the table. Other people work at computers in the background.
Several people wearing purple gloves sit around tables in a lab classroom, examining a white tray filled with small tagged artifacts. A laptop, paperwork, and lab cabinets are visible in the room.
Students wearing purple gloves gather around a table with a tray of bone specimens. An instructor stands behind them observing. Printed documents and a smartphone lie on the table, and white cabinets line the back wall of the lab.
Today, the Museum Studies class visited the storage facility at the Museum of Science and Technology. Our host, Dr David Pantalony, showed us numerous objects which are rarely on display. We then did a hands-on workshop. buff.ly/xw410kN
