Technical Note: Magnetic Mounts for Textile and Leather Objects in a Travelling Exhibit

Amanda Harding

This note describes a method to construct mounts for three objects in a travelling exhibit using rare earth magnets. The objects were made of textile and leather and included an original beaded fire bag, reproduction leather mittens and reproduction leg garters. The mounts for the mittens and leg garters were successful but the mount for the fire bag failed in one context.
