This week likely will mark the completion of our collection room renovation. The room was almost completely emptied last week, in preparation for our total cabinet replacement. This storage upgrade was made possible, in part, by funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (DBI-1349356).

Today we received the first delivery of said cabinets! And the excitement bubbling through the Frost Museum research team can barely be contained.

Expect more photos, details, and updates as the process proceeds throughout the week. Needless to say, we are fortunate and thrilled to be able to make this critical upgrade. We have our work cut out for us!
