My plan is to build a large box, and fill it with Plaster of Paris or some such. I'll set the Museum's mask inside (which will be encased in a plastic bag) and when it dries, it'll be a form for a new mask.

Not sure of the material, but I'm thinking a sheet of a form-able plastic or PVC will make up the new part, formed into the mold with a heating apparatus.
