Exposure to light causes weakness of fibres and fading, which can result in severe damage to textiles if left unchecked. All forms of light can cause damage but light sources with high UV content, such as daylight, are the most destructive. Light damage to textiles is cumulative and irreversible, so it’s important for us to reduce the amount and intensity of light exposure to our collection whenever possible.</p> <p>The Museum uses a dimming LED lighting system in our galleries, as it contains low levels of the UV spectrum and can be adjusted for the needs of individual pieces. We also have motion detectors that dim the lights when no one is in a gallery to reduce the amount of light exposure a textile receives. Placing a light source father away from an object reduces the intensity of light exposure that an object receives while on display. For this reason, we do not place spotlights within our cases.</p> <p>We strive to make our galleries accessible for our visitors but sometimes the needs of the textiles on display require low lighting levels for their care. If you are finding that the lighting in a gallery is making it difficult to read the labels, a clear print exhibition guide is available at the front desk. Tours for visitors with low vision are also available through our education department.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="accordion__panel"> <a id="accordion-6746577a6f853--_panel-heading-17" class="accordion__panel-heading" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#accordion-6746577a6f853--_panel-collapse-17" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="accordion-6746577a6f853--_panel-collapse-17"> Can I touch the textiles on display at the Museum? </a> <div id="accordion-6746577a6f853--_panel-collapse-17" class="collapse" aria-labelledby="accordion-6746577a6f853--_panel-heading-17" data-parent="#accordion-6746577a6f853"> <div class="accordion__panel-body"> <div class='block text-group text-group--heading_tag-h3' ><p>Please do not. Our museum is special because there is no glass separating you from the artifacts on display, and you can get up close. But we ask you not to touch, and here’s why:</p> <p>Our skin contains oils, salts, and residues. When people touch an object, these things build up and result in chemical reactions that cause deterioration. Damage caused to textiles is a slow, gradual process and the immediate effect of poor handling is not apparent. Although the damage isn’t as easy to see as a ceramic vase breaking when you drop it, it’s still happening!. This also means that a textile, especially an old one, is probably much more fragile than it looks at first glance. Dyes, chemicals, and a variety of natural but slightly gross substances are often used to make textiles. These can remain on the surface and touching them means they will get on your hands and clothing.</p> <p>In short, we ask you not to touch because it keeps you and the textiles safe. The longer we keep an object in good condition, the more people will get to see it.
