From Bowes to Redcar
Thanks to Katie Irwin for these images from Bowes Museum where they have been taking down Only in England, checking all the exhibits and packing them up for transport to Kirkleatham Museum and Palace Arts on Friday.
Moving an exhibition like this is a painstakingly careful process. Pictured are Amy Dillmann of the Science Museum and Tor Skaaland, Catherine Dickinson and Katie Irwin of the Bowes Museum.
Meanwhile here at Palace Arts we have taken down our exhibitions, filled, sanded and painted the walls and thoroughly cleaned the gallery space. As you may have seen in an earlier post we have been preparing the necessary environmental conditions for the exhibition: light, temperature and relative humidity.
