The Museum of Miniature Found Objects is delighted to present the second in the series of interviews with staff. This week the MMFO talks to Sandie Muffins, Researcher at the Horology Pod:
MMFO: What keeps you busy at the MMFO?
SM: I look after all the time pieces, from pocket watches to sundials. Most days you’ll find me with a watch maker's magnifier wedged in my eye, as the parts I work with are very, very small. At the moment I'm busy organising a travelling exhibition of timepieces, and first stop is Gdansk, then it's on to Mexico City and Belize.
MMFO: Which of your achievements at the MMFO are you most proud of?
SM: Winning the van Buren Golden Orb for our display of dwarf sundials – most definitely! We'd installed a weather simulator in the gallery so people could feel the full effect, and we made sure we had a supply of umbrellas handy!
MMFO: What does the future hold for you?
SM: I'd love to link up with the British Museum for an exhibition, as I know we've lots in common – they haven't returned my calls yet, but I'm sure they will!
