Things to Use
Architectural Salvage
Using architectural salvage is a great way to reduce the impact of exhibit development while adding a touch of unique style to a children’s museum. Architectural salvage includes materials such as flooring, doors, fixtures and windows that were saved during the deconstruction of older buildings. The internet is full of sites that sell materials in the form of architectural salvage. Here are a few companies:
