<p class="MsoNormal">The Vernon Museum and Archives has some objects available for transfer. My personal favorite is the vintage chair, which in our records is a dentist chair, because it manages to make going to the dentist even more uncomfortable than it
is. We also have some surveying equipment which no museum anywhere is complete without. We have a display of bugs brought back from Africa by a local naturalist which invoke a delightful shiver when you look at the scorpions. Museums in the Okanagan should
take note of our vintage “Okanagan Telephone Company” sign. Everyone will enjoy our lampshade because objects that turn out to be way larger than you expect them to be are always fun. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please see the attached spreadsheet for more details. If you are interested in any objects, have questions or wish for more or better photos please contact me at
<a href="mailto:Carolyn.ben@vernonmusuem.ca">Carolyn.ben@vernonmusuem.ca</a>. The costs associated with transferring the item will fall on the receiving organization.<o:p></o:p></p>
