Eat and Peek

Monday, September 12th, 2011 by 

Did you know the Hastings Museum holds a free monthly brown bag lunch series? Yup. We do. We’ve been doing this for almost two years. Each month we discuss a different topic using artifacts from the collection, some of which haven’t been seen by the public for several years. Afterwards, you can pull on the bright green curator gloves and touch the objects for yourself.

A Change Will do You Good

Tuesday, April 5th, 2011 by 

Sheryl Crow said “a change will do you good.” But not all people like change. As museum employees, however, we’re forced to embrace it. State testing and evolving state education standards forces us to revamp our school programs almost monthly it seems. Social media took us for a loop at first, but we’ve grabbed on and embraced it like a cat embraces a catnip toy.
