Facebook: Exhibition Artifacts

Have a small "Families of the Dump" exhibition at a local Edmonton library scheduled for August 2019. Picked up a couple of ARTIFACTS from the dump this morning to exhibit along side the photographs. I have a teddy bear found abandoned near a dump shack where many children played and also a small pink rubber boot inside the garbage dump. Made photos of their locations before picking them up off the ground.
At the library exhibition I will place the teddybear in a glass jar I bought a while back (second hand). The exhibition viewers can see the large "Families of the Dump" photos (around 10-12) then view these two dump artifacts with their location photos. It would also be cool if the visitors could open the glass jar lid and 'smell the dump' off the cute little teddy bear. It would give the whole experience that much more reality! If visitors could smell the dump alongside the photographs, that would be great. Doubt that it will happen thou.
