[Nhcoll-l] Seeking advice on displaying coral specimens

[Huong Lien Tran]

Hi all,


(1) Our museum is going to put our red coral specimens (specifically Corallium cf. borneanse Bayer) in our permanent exhibitions. I am seeking advice on how to best preserve them in display (any recommendation on lightning; duration of display, etc.)


(2) I am also seeking for literature on how to best preserve specimens on display, in order for our department to compile a guide for our museum. Any recommendation would be much appreciated


Best,


Lien
