"Families at Work: Strategies for Rearing
Young"
Proto Productions fabricated this 2,500 square foot exhibition
which included twenty-three conservation and microclimate
controlled exhibit cases. Each case contained a silica
gel ballast chamber to maintain the relative humidity in
the case interior between 45% and 55%. Wood case interiors
were sealed to prevent off gassing of compounds harmful
to the artifacts. Additionally a large children's activity
area was fabricated, including oak benches which were constructed
to withstand heavy use by children.
