The Smithsonian is Coming!!

The library will be having a Museum on Main Street exhibit entitled The Way We Work this coming December and it brings to mind museums and all the fun things you can discover.  Surprisingly (or not) museums do not display even a small percent of their collections.  Hidden Treasures: What Museums Can’t or Won’t Show You by Harriet Baskas takes you on a tour of some of the more unusual hidden objects kept out of the public view.   Take a look through this book and enjoy Truman’s Portrait on the Head of a Pin, read the story about how one museum acquired human skin wallets, and my favorite - the flying pig from Pink Floyd’s online stage show (too big for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio).  SG
