Lew Wallace’s Artifacts are finally back in the Study! Museum staff and volunteers will now spend days unpacking artwork and arranging furniture to reflect Wallace’s use of the building.
The furniture, including the grandfather clock, are not in place, but at least they are in the building!
Movers from Red Ball Moving Company, generous supporters of the Museum, prepare to move Il Pensiero (The Thinker) to its pedestal.
Museum Director Larry Paarlberg adjusts the “Girl with Goats” majolica vase in its corner. The colors in the ceramics blend well with the newly restored wall in the southeast corner of the Study!
Associate Director Amanda Wesselmann and Grounds Manager Deb King unveil “The Turkish Princess,” a gift to Wallace from Sultan Abdul Hamid II. She is now back in her familiar place above the bookcases.
