CPR: conservation, preservation and restoration


This surgical set up at Wilderstein is the centerpiece for an exhibit called "CPR: conservation, preservation and restoration" Playing off the title of the exhibit, the "paramedics", dressed in authentic doctor's scrubs and lab coats, are taking care of a preservation emergency by resuscitating history. They are surrounded by tools of the trade, with mostly antique tools from the collection, as well as architectural artifacts from the museum's exterior and things from Geoff's own collection, such as his grandfather's ladder, etc., all set up in the music room at the Wilderstein mansion. This will be on display until October in Rhinebeck NY. Come and see it, STAT!
