literally first in this museum room

My professional organization held its fall conference in Richmond today.  Last night, some of us enjoyed a visit to the new aspects of the Valentine museum.  It is about to launch its new style.  The director and public relations person noted that we were, literally, the first to sit in the new chairs.
