anton Museum of Art installs $300,000 storage systemIn the Friday, February 8, 2019 edition of the Canton Repository, Entertainment Editor Dan Kane wrote a story featuring Canton Rotarian and Museum Executive Director Max Barton entitled "Preserving History".
"The Museum of Art's collection includes works by such masters of watercolors as Edward Hopper, Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent and Andrew Wyeth. The museum's holdings of more thank 1,500 works of art are valued in excess of $30 million.
It's no surprise then that proper preservation is a major priority. As Max Barton, the museum's executive director puts it, "Without protection, nothing else matters." This week, the museum's storage room is being equipped with a state-of-the-art storage system. The largest and most important two-dimensional artworks will be hung on rolling, floor-mounted steel racks."
