Check out curator Matthew Connell tell an amazing story about a little piece of cable and the epic part it played in connecting the world.
Thanks. A great presentation Matthew. So good I had to stick it on my blog.
How great! I remembered seeing the larger piece on the tour you gave, but not the Tiffany one in the box! Nice to see the story in depth like this…great blog, Matthew!
Thanks Shelley. You’re enthusiasm helped get us going. I love the video of your conservator. I have to learn to carry a camera so I can stalk our folks.
