* The Yakima Valley Museum's 2007 special exhibit "In Memory Of: Expressions of Mourning in Victorian America" was recently presented an Award of Exhibit Excellence from the Washington Museum Association.

Curated by the museum's David Lynx and Andy Granitto, "In Memory Of" depicted the extensive culture surrounding funerals in the mid-1800s through the early 1900s.

According to the Washington Museum Association's Web site, the award recognizes the exhibit "for establishing a high standard of innovation and creativity in all phases of exhibit concept, content, design and programming. ... This exceptional exhibit represents an elevated level of achievement to which all museums in Washington state should aspire."

The awards were presented last month at the Washington Museum Association's annual conference, held this year in Vancouver, Wash.
