The Spring 2024 issue of Exhibition journal is now out. “Alternative Realities” surveys many ways exhibitions can question existing systems and open pathways to new and more equitable futures. At a time when what divides us can feel almost insurmountable, authors share how they are harnessing hope, challenging prevailing narratives, and upending established museum practices as they seek to reshape our vision of what is possible—within and beyond the museum. Exhibition is a journal of exhibition theory and practice for museum professionals published by the American Alliance of Museums.

Numbering museum objects is important because a unique number, once allocated and physically attached to the museum object, creates a link between that object and its associated information. Numbers don't need to be complicated! Find out more about different types of numbering in this helpful resource: https://lnkd.in/eiaeGpTi #Museums #MuseumDocumentation #FAQFriday

You should have a policy covering the exit of objects from your buildings. This could either be a standalone document or part of a wider collections management policy. ✍️ When forming your policy, this is the first question you must consider, "In what circumstances might objects leave the museum?" 🔗 https://buff.ly/3RZEIDo #PrimaryProcedures #Museums #MuseumDocumentation
