BMA Trip

Last week, on Tuesday, my mentor and I spent a good portion of our day visiting the Baltimore Museum of Art. We spent all of our time down in the registrar office space looking over Woodward related files, searching for correspondence between Elsie Woodward and the museum about the art collection. Very little was discovered but we left with a few copies of certain documents we found interesting or of use to my project. It probably sounds very boring but I had such a great time reading through everything. I'm very thankful for the opportunity that was given to us. The BMA staff is too kind!

I'm trying to remember what we did the week before - I'm so bad at keeping this blog updated - and I think I spent most of the time choosing what prints/objects to use in the catalog. I started working on tombstone information and gathering credit lines.

I helped do inventory one day down in the storage building...learned about feedsack quilts...

Here, have some pictures.

A document I thought would be helpful to my project.

Pretty painted photograph of Fenelon, a Woodward horse.

Example of what tombstone information should look like.

Eclipse award.

Eclipse Award looking creepy.
