katy-l-wood:saintartemis:anotherconservator: This display in Ashmolean Museum shows how touching artwork affects material. This is why museum staff get really upset when visitors touch stuff Please don’t touch the collection objects! This is such a great way to do it, though! Don’t just tell people not to touch, show them exactly why they can’t. -- source link
