items chosen from the Delta Museum and Archives Society’s collection for
this latest temporary gallery exhibit all have a bit of mystery to them.
Perhaps this exhibit will help to unravel the story of how the item came to be
in the museum’s collection, from where it was obtained, and how each item
tells a story that contributes to the identity of Delta. Sometimes, the story
is a best guess until we learn more. Perhaps visitors to the art exhibit can
contribute to the information the museum has to help round out each item’s
story. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

people can also contribute to the exhibit by creating pieces for display using
