A systematic review of the Brooklyn Museum’s onsite and offsite storage in order to facilitate collection sharing, expand humanistic knowledge, improve the preservation and visibility of holdings, and accommodate a new collection gallery and additional onsite storage.

The Brooklyn Museum respectfully requests funding in the amount of $750,000 to support our initiative: Mobilizing Collections through Storage Assessment. This institutional priority will facilitate collection sharing, expand humanistic knowledge, improve the preservation and visibility of our holdings, and open much needed square footage to accommodate a new collection gallery and additional onsite storage space. Carried out over a period of 68 months, this project aligns closely with the Museum’s mission, strategic plan and collection management policy, all of which have been adopted in the past year.
