Thanks for all of the help- great suggestions! Hopefully we will be able to
find what we need from your help.
As far as showing the real thing, this exhibit will also contain some fairly
delicate artifacts, some nearly 4,000 years old, for the safety of the
objects, as well as the other material in adjoining galleries, we are not
permitted to display the real thing. Though, I do agree that it would be
very compelling to do so, maybe in a future exhibit.
Thanks again,
Allie
