2025 Focus
In 2025, efforts will concentrate on very specific and vulnerable pieces of the collection. Professional conservation work is not cheap, but it is necessary to stabilize, preserve, restore, and protect these historically significant treasures. The pieces selected for conservation this year include an early Billie the Brownie figure from Schuster’s department store that needs to be restrung and repaired, materials to create custom boxes for our Milwaukee architectural models, and funding to stabilize and repair one of the Stations of the Cross from Milwaukee’s Our Lady of Pompeii Church (the Little Pink Church).
