Cranbrook Educational Community (Cranbrook Academy of Art Museum)

The Cranbrook Art Museum will use grant funds to improve the storage conditions of the textile, ceramics, and glass collections. For the textiles collection, the objective is to install museum-quality storage equipment and shelving, including oversized textile racks, textile storage cabinets, tables and cabinets with storage for unrolled material, and shelf storage for boxes and three-dimensional objects. For the ceramics and glass collections, the objective is to install museum-quality shelving in an open-shelving space to manage oversized ceramics, and bin storage for windows and framed glass collection materials. The improved storage conditions will not only ensure long-term care of the collections but will allow greater access to the collections for both visitors and staff.
