President's Medallion
Tuesday, November 15, 2011
Back to work on the President's exhibition. I am gathering research materials to use for the labels and catalog. I am beginning with the questionnaire completed by the owner of the quilt. This questionnaire is sent back with the contract and provides basic details about the quilt such as size, maker, technique, materials, etc as well as any other information the owner wishes to share. Some of these quilts have come in with elaborate and detailed histories of the quilt, maker, and/or specialty fabrics that were used.
One of the things I will also be doing is reading about exhibition labels. Then I will make a recommendation about a new format for the museum to adopt. Pam would like me to consider a label with two sections: one side of the label would be a brief overview of the quilt; the other side would be a more detailed description of the quilt. This makes sense to me. But I am looking forward to reading the book I just ordered about exhibition labels.
