The Kentucky Museum's
Adopt an Artifact campaign
will end at 11:59 p.m. CT Saturday (Oct. 12). Through SpiritFunder, the Museum is just over half way to its goal of raising $10,000 to kick off the adoption program.
“Every artifact holds a story,” said Tiffany Isselhardt, Development and Marketing Manager. “But to tell those stories, we have to preserve the artifacts—and preservation isn’t easy. Each artifact has special needs, from the environment we keep it in to how it is cleaned and displayed, which the museum field calls ‘conservation.’ By adopting an artifact, the community helps ensure we can do this important work.”
