Museum Roadshow
Saturday January 16, 2010

Want to know more about your great grandmother's silver or that chair purchased from an antique store? Curious guests will have their chance at the State Museum during its annual “Museum Road Show” on Saturday, January 16, 2010.
Inspired by PBS’ “Antiques Roadshow,” the program will offer informal (verbal) appraisals of a variety of objects. Museum curators and local experts will be on hand not only to discuss items, but also to provide tips on caring for the objects.
Participants are responsible for moving objects from their vehicles to the Museum’s atrium (where the event will occur) and back again. The Museum assumes no responsibility for loss or damage to any object.

Ed Albrittion - Books
Dr. Jack Meyer - Coins, Currency, Military Weapons and Objects Conservator
