*Description:*

Every museum object is unique, but items made of similar materials share 
characteristics. *Museum Artifacts* gives participants an understanding 
of the materials and processes used to make objects - knowledge that 
better prepares them to decide how to care for their collections. 
Participants study two objects that represent all materials found in our 
museums. Through an in-depth analysis of their components, participants 
explore all possible objects found in any museum.
