Tucson Museum of Art

The Tucson Museum of Art will undertake the first phase of a collections storage improvement project, “Designing Space Within,” within an existing collections vault. The museum will undertake a five-day conservation consultancy with an objects conservator; reorganize select collections storage areas into a new and more compact footprint; complete a condition assessment, photography, and bar-coding of 2,836 objects; and install a high-density mobile storage system for two- and three-dimensional objects. The project will make the collection more accessible to the curatorial staff, researchers, and patrons via images on the museum’s networked database, existing virtual online exhibits, and within the storage vault.
