SEAD After Dark: To Trust Visitors or Not to Trust Visitors, That is the Question
Add to calendarObjects in museum collections are priceless and irreplaceable. Yet museums allow just about anyone to walk through their doors and enjoy the exhibitions on what amounts to an honor system. Sometimes visitors have ulterior motives and sometimes visitors can be destructive. Are we as museum professionals taking too many risks with our prized objects? Facilitator: Heather Ann Bennett, Collections Manager, University Art Galleries Department, Texas A&M.
