@sciencemuseummn: Taking you behind the scenes on what it takes to make this place sparkle. Every September, our collections stewardship team scrubs the museum from top to bottom as a part of our annual Shutdown Week. Regular cleaning tasks — dusting, shining and polishing — reduce risk of damage and decay, ensuring our collections' long-term vitality. We're grateful for all the work the team undertakes to make certain visitors can see science up close for generations to come. Want to get in on the cleanest day of the year? 😉 We reopen tomorrow!
