LinkLinks DCist: How D.C.’s Museums Are Working To Protect Their Collections From More Heat And Flooding By Editor On Sep 19, 2019 Last updated Sep 19, 2019 19 Share Callie Stapp can literally see the impact of climate change on her office walls. Stapp is the curator of collections for Gadsby’s Tavern Museum, a historic 18th-century brick and wood building in Alexandria. “When the [wood]boards move and pop off the wall, I know it’s more humid outside,” she tells DCist. “Older, wood buildings react to that. We see movement and warping in the wood. We see paint lost. Climate change is definitely a day-to-day thing for us.” 19 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
