Eatonville Meeting Room

In this talk, author Harriet Baskas explores a wide range of hidden objects found in the back rooms of museums in our state and around the country.

Did you know that most museums display no more than 10 percent of their holdings, often citing “not enough space” as the reason. But there are also a wide range of cultural, philosophical, political, environmental, historic, and even superstitious reasons why museums keep some objects from public view. Examples include a Spokane institution that holds Bing Crosby’s toupées and a museum in Lynden that’s home to a 150-year-old pickle.
