[picture in document]

A closed suburban printery, 2003. Job bags have been taken from shelves and strewn around.

The Museum has acquired these items, but there is doubt about our ability to look after them as our storage area is under threat of closure. This is due to financial limitations, having no programs running for five years and no sponsor (yet).

The Museum is about to re-open and start running programs. But it will take some time to generate enough revenue to pay the rent on the store. By that time, there may be no store.
