After a lot of preparatory work, glass is at last going into the cabinets. Before they do, though, every piece has to be catalogued, with a description of the item, who designed it, and where and when it was made. A picture is taken too. Then its exact location in the museum is recorded. Every cabinet has a code so we know where everything is at any time. In three days about 150 pieces were put in place. Next week another 150 pieces will be added. We thought it would be nice to share some pictures.
These cabinets have glass made in the 2000s (nearest) and the 1990s (furthest away).
The leftmost two cabinets have glass made in the 1990s. The one on the right has glass made in the 1980s.
This is the view down the second aisle of cabinets downstairs.
