Curator's Corner
We need your help!!
The collections team has been conducting a full inventory of our collection and we'd like your help solving some of the mysteries we've uncovered. Some artifacts don't have much or any associated records: what is the object, who did it belong to, where did it come from, etc. These answers are very important for museum records.
Each week we are going to post pictures of one or two items and if you have any information please let us know by emailing themuseum@nmjc.edu.
