Behind the scenes in collections! 🏛️ During a recent exhibition rotation, our team replaced a Sámi doll and cradle—using the opportunity to hone their archival box-making skills. Box-making is an essential part of collections care, ensuring objects are safely stored for generations to come. 🔎 About the artifact: This exquisite Sámi doll rests in a traditional leather cradle known as a Komse, crafted from cotton, felt, leather, wool, acrylic paint, and wood. Donated in 1980 by Gunnar Norin, it once belonged to his wife, who was from Kiruna, Sweden. Swipe to see the process in action alongside Associate Collections Specialist Kristopher ➡️
