The MCZ hired Elizabeth Brill, a glassworker, to clean the models and repair glue failures, reattaching separated fragments.Ford also notes that the MCZ did not clean with any solvents because some of the detailing on the models consisted of materials such as paint and egg whites that would surely be destroyed in the process.Additionally, the display of the creatures meant detailed planning to ensure that they would remain in the best conditions possible. The HMNH and MCZ collaborated on the details of the display, working out issues such as temperature and humidity requirements. Lighting also...
