Brooklyn Children's Museum

The Brooklyn children's Museum will complete registration and a comprehensive inventory of the museum's cultural collection of 13,500 historic and artistic works, to help maximize the full potential of the collection and the museum. Thorough understanding of its holdings will further inform the museum's innovative use of the collection. The project includes retrospective records registration, capturing the data electronically in its collections management database, conducting a physical inventory, and reconciling discrepancies between the two. The museum's 29,000-object collection of natural science and cultural artifacts, acquired during the museum's 115-year history, plays an important role in educating young visitors and illuminating the world around them. The inventory will shape and edit the museum's cultural collection, and expand access for its constituents and educators.
