Rex Museum Gutted By Gallup Librarian

For months, I noticed that the Rex Museum in Gallup has been closed and wondered what's going on. 

Last evening, we had dinner at Martin Link's for Independence Day. While there, we had a discussion about the latest goings on in Gallup and the topic of the Rex Museum came up.

It seems that the head librarian had some photos she took of Gallup Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial she wanted to display and she asked the city government if she could display them at the Rex Museum. They granted permission.

Sounds harmless, right? Wrong. It turns out she gutted the museum of its historical displays so that she could display her pictures and put them into storage somewhere. 

After she was done displaying her photos, she didn't return the museum's displays. So they are in limbo somewhere.

It was my suggestion last night that if she doesn't put the displays back into the museum she should be demanded to do so (or forced to by lawsuit in court, if necessary) with a time deadline. 

I don't know her name and it wasn't mentioned.
