If you’ve meandered past the mastodon lately, you’ll have noticed there’s a NEW temporary wall in the gallery. It protrudes a little more into the space, and has a sheet awning, so that our crew can work on the exhibit doorway without getting dust on everything else. From the bare inside space, it looks somewhat spooky before the crew comes in and turns on the lights. We’re painting next, and the ceiling will become a lovely midnight blue!

We’re also wildly excited to watch the new family restroom take shape. The experts were in putting in the tile over the holidays, and it’s starting to look like an actual restroom.
