Check out Rural Intelligence’s recent post “Look @ Us!” A Breath of Fresh Air at the Berkshire Museum .
Thanks to the museum’s new, hard won HVAC (Heating Ventillation Air Conditioning) system, items are on view from the collection that have never before been exhibited.
I must admit I do have fond memories of the Berkshire Museum of my childhood; the glow in the dark room, the nocturnal taxidermied animals in the dark hallway.
If you are Berkshire born and bred, and as long as your parents were not heathens who wouldn’t let you go on school field trips, you know what I mean.
Despite these pangs of nostalgia, I am ecstatic to see the Berkshire Museum come into itself. My personal favorites of the current exhibition are the museum’s outstanding collection of George Seeley photogrpahs, which I have been told is only a sampling of a much larger collection.
Here’s to seeing what else comes out of that basement!
