Registered members of The Park’s Builders’ Guild (Association of Professional Park Construction Workers), dressed in their work clothes, pose for pictures outside the construction site of the Park Museum. The Guild agreed to donate the photos to a calendar that will be sold by the Park Museum to raise funds for its construction.

The Park Museum has taken the unusual step of enlisting the help of its own construction workers in its campaign to raise funds for the Museum.
In a press release dated today and posted on the Museum’s web site, the Board of Governors of the Museum announced that they will be publishing a fundraising calendar that will be available for purchase as early as September.
According to a SpokesAnimal for the Builders’ Guild, the photographs will be “candid, at-work pictures that will give Park Animals an appreciation of the size of the project and the kind of work that went into building the Museum.”
In addition to the workers’ photographs, the calendar will offer a “sneak peek” of the Museum’s interior and of a number of recently-acquired items in the Museum’s collection.
The calendar will be sold at a small kiosk outside the Museum construction site as well as at select shops in The Park. Online orders will also be taken, a SpokesAnimal for the Museum said. For more information, please contact the Park Museum order desk at orders@parkmuseum.info.
