Oh in contracts is ideal. No round foods... they roll under things. Round things have to be cut in half before serving. Specify trash removal and be specific. Drop off tray stands so people do not get tempted to sit glasses and plates on anything. Flowers and flower containers not being made of cellulose. No picked from mommas yard flowers or pintrest pinecones that were not frozen. No tree branches. Containers have to be specific. JTV

By showing the special events staff that they have an important role to play in the preservation of a collections seems to help motivate people to do the right thing and it is a constant discussion Lisa Bruno Carol Lee Shen Chief Conservator Brooklyn Museum 200 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11238 P 718 501-6562 On May 23, 2022, at 10:03 AM, jessicalewinsky <jessicalewin...@gmail.com> wrote: Hello I hope you are all well. We recently sat down with our Events team at the museum to make sure they are aware how damages and accidents can happen in these kind of gatherings. Our biggest challenge is communicating the importance of IMP to external contractors or suppliers that end up bringing in used furniture, material and other paraphernalia to decorate the event and sometimes even build stages for musicians. Does anyone out there have experience with implementing policies around the expectations for these external companies/contractors? Does anyone know of any flyers that have been drafted to hand out? or points to be integrated within the contract of these outside suppliers? thanks in advance Jessica Lewinsky Preventive Conservation Officer Israel Museum, Jerusalem +972 542744246 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MuseumPests" group.
