上个月，水手的博物馆和公亚博平台网址园欢迎我“乘坐”在保护期间为8周的毕业生实习。在今年夏天，我正在使用对象保险柜Paige Schmidt的保护部门。我来自纽约布法罗的水牛博物馆，我正在学习艺术保护SUNY Buffalo State College，主修物体保护。在我的时间在博物馆，我的主要项目将是从C.1860的船舶医疗胸部的治疗和分析（图1）。分析结果将用于通知安全处理和储存胸部。博物馆有几十名医疗箱，船舶医生曾经使用过他们的医疗工具，书籍和“药物”。这种胸部容纳9个玻璃瓶，其中6个，其中6种含有可能已用作19的药物的物质钍century (image 2).
在博物馆收藏中发现未知的医疗物质可以涉及，因为现在已知许多早期药物都有危险的药物。一些小瓶被标记为“樟脑”，“Bryonia”，“NuxV摩中”和“鞑靼emet”（虽然Nux Vomica小瓶是空的）。樟脑是局部施用的药物中的常见成分，如抗刺激剂和蒸汽摩擦，但是高真皮暴露和摄入可能是有毒的。
When I was little, Sesame Street aired a special called “Don’t Eat the Pictures: Sesame Street at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.” I adored it. For those who didn’t watch the VHS tape on repeat, the gang go to the Met and accidentally get locked inside for the night. The story focuses on Big Bird helping the spirit of an Egyptian boy to reunite with his parents. Meanwhile, Cookie Monster is struggling with his desire to eat all of the paintings depicting food. But Bob points to the sign that says “Please don’t eat the pictures!”
消化艺术是一个显而易见的“不”，但是，有时博物馆似乎没有理由对事物说“不”。我保证我们并不试图挫败任何人的乐趣。这些规则旨在保护集合和人员。
2019年，Molly McGath和我发布了关于保护团队的数字红外线相机。相机已经在两年内使用了无数次，但我想分享一个特别酷的小谜团IR相机最近帮助我们弄清楚了！
Last month, two of our curators were looking into the provenance of a really interesting artifact in our Collection: this improvised ‘blunderbuss,’ essentially fashioned out of pipe and a crudely shaped wooden stock. We had little information about this gun, other than the fact that it belonged to Rear Admiral James Kelsey Cogswell in the late 19th century.
随着我们大多数工作人员这些天，我们无法尽可能多地在实验室中工作。但是，我以为我会在3月份完成的一些工作中更新您。
Some of you may remember a博客在2017年回来的帖子那when I found a bone-handled knife in the concretion of the turret. While the conservation department had found many objects and items in the turret before, this came as a bit of a surprise. Much of the concretion had already been removed from the turret, and we didn’t think there were many places left for objects to hide. But we were wrong! Hidden in the rails of the railroad tracking that were used to construct the ceiling of the turret was a knife!
Earlier this year, Collections Manager Jeanne Willoz-Egnor posted about the Museum’s newly acquiredGut Skin Parka.。
除了建立这个令人难以置信的对象和制造它的人的文化意义之外，博物馆有兴趣了解更多有关用于创造Parka的具体材料的信息。这些信息增加了我们对Parka如何制作和使用的理解以及其生命的独特故事。随着Jeanne指出，识别目前的材料在其收购过程中具有非常重要的法律影响！
