LIFE CYCLE OF A MUSEUM OBJECT

When an object is accepted into the collection of a museum, it begins a ‘new life”, where it might be studied, conserved, exhibited, or loaned, and ultimately stored alongside many other objects. Join us as for an animated discussion as we introduce a newly ‘donated’ object to a museum and its new life. Museum Consultant Kathleen Craughwell-Varda will guide us through the ‘Life-Cycle’ of a Museum Object and the important principles, practices and policies of collections management and care that impact collecting in museums. Space is limited.
