What's going on in the museum? We're getting ready for our upcoming exhibition on Arhoolie Records. Among the objects we'll be displaying are posters from musicians recorded on the Arhoolie label. While they're awaiting installation, we store them in flat files that keep out light and dust, in secure, climate-controlled storage.
