This Week:

I devoured, almost in one sitting, Premee Mohamed’s “The Butcher of the Forest”. It’s a thrilling rescue fairytale, featuring the kind of unnverving, ancient magical world that never fails to grab me. It’s also a thoughtful meditation about violence and war and their consequences. I couldn’t put it down.
I started de-installing our now discontinued exhibit “Of Time and The River: 12,000 years in the Upper Susquehanna Region”. It was an excellent exhibit, curated by the great Dr. David Anthony, and we’re looking forward to showing off objects from Willard Yager’s collection in new ways in the coming years.
In MUST205, the students formally began their final projects of installing a display in one of our display cases.
I returned some objects that we had borrowed from the Milford Historical Society (26 years ago!) back to them.
