Abstract
Safe mounting systems for ethnographic textiles and objects are necessary to minimize damage while on display. The Glenbow Museum in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, has been developing various systems for exhibiting ethnographic material over the last five years. The author describes several methods that have been used to exhibit textiles and objects safely in travelling and in-house exhibits. Examples include: a pipe bag mount, a roll-up bag, a knife sheath mount, a roundel support, 2 headdress supports, and mannequins. Drawings photographs, references.
