Wehle Gallery. The gallery houses collections that include 950 paintings, drawings, prints, and sculptures from the seventeenth century through the twentieth that represent diverse American wildlife and sporting activities such as riding, angling, and hunting, as well as a costume collection of 3,500 nineteenth-century garments and accessories that illustrate the lives of New Englanders and regional Quakers.
Genesee Country Village & Museum will improve its ability to preserve and care for our significant humanities collections displayed and stored within our John L. Wehle Gallery by engaging self-employed preservation consultant Barbara Moore. Ms. Moore will help our staff create a collections emergency plan, run scenario training to teach staff how to correctly execute the plan, and build the Museum’s capacity to handle any possible future disasters. |
