Preserving the Past for the Future


What kinds of things do museums collect? What happens to them? Do we ever get to see them? Or are they put away in a box with thousands of other boxes like the final scene in Indiana Jones: The Raiders of the Lost Ark? You can learn the answers to these questions and many more by attending Preserving the Past for the Future presented by Placer County Museum’s Curator of Collections, Kasia Woroniecka. The program begins at 1:00 pm on Sunday, April 18th in the upstairs Bernhard Museum Winery. You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at how museums function and how our past is preserved. If you’ve ever considered donating an object to any museum, this is a must-see program. Please don’t bring items to the program for donation; you can discuss possible donations with Kasia after the program. This Placer County Museums Community Education program is FREE! The Bernhard Museum Winery is located at 291 Auburn-Folsom Road in Auburn.
