Oakland Museum of California

The Oakland Museum of California will conduct a general conservation survey of its collections in order to identify the museum's most pressing conservation needs and to inform the development of the next long-range plan for collections care and facilities improvements. Eight consulting specialists will survey operations and facilities as well as paper, ethnographic and natural science collections, photographs, time-based media, paintings, costumes, and textiles. The survey will reflect the museum's emphasis on the visitor experience and on connecting communities to the cultural and environmental heritage of California.
