Seeking Liberty Exhibition Installation


The exhibition opening is less than one week away and everything is moving into high speed. It is always fascinating to watch an exhibit installation in process. It always seems to work that in the morning you are staring at boxes, bags, and crates of objects everywhere and then suddenly there is an exhibit. At least, that is how it felt to me. At one point I was making elevation drawings of the exhibit and the next time I looked up there were objects on the walls that had not been there a few minutes before.

Exhibition team members from the Banneker-Douglass Museum and Archaeology in Annapolis are currently installing the objects and mounting all of the text panels. All of the objects for the Calvert House were installed on Friday and look great. Tomorrow the remaining objects will be put in place and the exhibit will move a giant step closer to completion.

The exhibition officially opens on Tuesday, March 4th. Look for more posts throughout the week as the exhibit is readied for visitors.
