Curation at the Frontier Culture Museum

Have you ever wondered how a museum knows what kind of artifacts to display in a house? How do they know what kind of sheets and blankets to use? What should be included to show a particular time period, culture, and social class? In this episode, we chat with our curator, David Puckett, and he answers these questions you may not even know you had.

We’ll let the episode speak for itself, but here are some images of the items we talk about with David.
