WHEELING The day will come when it is possible to go to school or to the grocery store without a mask, which begs an interesting question. What will happen to all these colorful scraps of fabric and elastic when COVID is contained?
“Some people are going to be so excited to not wear a mask, they’re going to want to burn it,” joked Kara Yenkevich, curator for the Museums of Oglebay Institute. “You’ve got to have celebration like the memes of people turning them into hamster hammocks.”
But, if history tells us anything, she said it’s equally possible that some masks will make their way into museum archives. This could be as physical artifacts of the COVID-19 pandemic like those already being collected by institutions such as the Smithsonian. Or, it might be in the form of art.
