Museum looks at how every day objects have changed through the years |

MILDFORD, Del. (AP) -- Local history buffs looking for something fresh to do can check out the new “Then and Now” exhibit at the Milford Museum.
Director Claudia Leister has gathered dozens of objects owned by Milford residents to show how consumer goods, most of which are from the 20th century, have changed over time.
“The general concept of the exhibit is to share objects from the Milford Museum collection and compare them to the same items we use today,” Leister said.
“The idea for this exhibit came from one specific unique item,” she said. “A large, almost 6-foot-tall beauty parlor permanent wave machine.” The wiry, old antique, which made users resemble Medusa while they had it on, seems “like something from a Frankenstein movie” in Leister’s mind.
“I was so amazed when I first discovered it in our collection that I knew I had to create an exhibit to showcase this piece,” she said. |
