Many of the world's great museums were created thanks to the collecting habits of wealthy individuals--for example, the Getty Museum and the Morgan Library and Museum. Yet there are many ways to create collections and to develop them over time. Gain an introduction to the formation, development, and stewardship of art and artifact collections. Begin with a historical overview and then focus on the practical aspects: what constitutes a collection; how and why collections are created; how are collection policies developed; accessioning and deaccessioning; basic registration and preservation principles; and ethics, accountability, and legal issues for both public and private collections.
