Building Exhibits: Life Sciences Gallery: Cleaning Foregrounds


How do you clean an exhibit without stepping on the delicate plants and other fragile foregrounds?

We use “the gangplank”, a device we designed here at the museum to allow RSM technicians to sit suspended over an exhibit. The technicians can reach every corner of the exhibits and clean every blade of grass without ever setting foot on the ground .
