Museum Roadshow
Saturday January 17, 2009
10 a.m. - 5p.m.
Want to know more about that chair purchased from an antique store or more about great grandmother's silver? Curious guests will have their chance at the State Museum during its annual “Museum Road Show” on Saturday, Jan. 17, 2009.
Inspired by PBS’ “Antiques Roadshow,” the program will offer informal (verbal) appraisals of a variety of objects. Museum curators and local experts will be on hand not only to discuss items, but also to provide tips on caring for the objects.
