Children's Museum of Indianapolis

The children's Museum of Indianapolis will acquire a fire protection system for its clothing and textile collection as the initial step in a project aimed at safeguarding the more than 120,000 artifacts in its collection. The museum will plan and implement the outfitting of its clothing and textile storage and staging areas with a clean agent fire suppression and monitoring system. The museum will also put in place procedural training to ensure the long-term maintenance of the system and response plan. Activities include revision of the current collections' emergency response kit, professional development and training for staff on the new fire suppression and monitoring systems, and professional development and training for collections staff regarding the new collections emergency response kit. The installation of such a system will help preserve the museum's artifacts in the event of an emergency, ensuring they will remain safe and accessible in the future.
