Collections reviews
Collections lie at the heart of museums. Yet, ask the staff of a museum what exactly it has in its storeroom, and the chances are they will struggle to answer.
However, the more you know about a collection, the better you can use it, which is why museums are increasingly undertaking strategic collections reviews.
This issue of Museum Practice looks at the advantages of a collections review, explores the best way to approach a review and explains some methodologies other museums have used. You can also share your questions and experiences of collections reviews with other readers.
