Share and chair alike
Many of the objects we care for are hundreds of years old, and we hope to care for them for hundreds more. These special chairs at Sudbury will help us learn more about the effect of a year’s worth of visitor interaction with an object. But the project doesn’t end there. We wanted to be a bit more ambitious than that!
To help simulate many years of use, we’re going to be taking two more identical chairs out on tour with us to some of the busiest locations in our region. Again, one chair will receive the highest quality care, and the other will have several thousand people sitting on it. You’ll be able to see for yourself how conservation preserves items and protects them for the future.
