dust bunnies among us

By Shannon Espinoza and Jennifer Dibbern

Denver Art Museum, 2011

Imagine….

Strolling through the gallery and all of a

sudden…

BAM!

All kidding aside…

For museums,

dust bunnies

are

dangerous.

Dust… What is it?

Why are we so afraid?

Dust is damaging.

Gritty.

Absorbs and carries pollutants.

Causes stains.

And…

Attracts and

harbors pests.

Builds up quickly.

That’s where we come

in.

You missed a spot

Every Week:
