The Textile Museum has received three grants to support critical equipment needed to conserve textiles and mount exhibitions at its new facilities. The Stockman Family Foundation Trust enabled the museum to purchase a conservation wash table (top) and suction system, used by conservators to gently clean collections pieces. Thanks to an in-kind donation from DeWalt, the museum received a shipment of power tools (bottom) that are essential in constructing exhibitions. Additionally, the Prince Charitable Trusts awarded funding through its capital grants program that allowed the museum to purchase bench and hand tools for its exhibition fabrication workshop. Together these grants will increase staff efficiency and further best practices in collections care and exhibition fabrication. -- source link
