Work in Progress…

February 12th, 2010

Now that the sun is shining and it’s relatively warm (20 – 30 temps) we went up into the Museum to look at the new exhibit space for the Tomb display. The Museum is closed for the winter (it’s like an icebox up there!) so we haven’t ventured upstairs much. Anyway, this morning seemed like a good time to take a look at the space. It is going to be fabulous. Our carpenter finished out the room before Christmas. Our mural painter is on board to paint some fantastic scenes of the view from Arlington amphitheater on the walls of the exhibit, around the vintage old photos we’ll display of the carving of the Tomb carving. Here is a sneak
