University of Kansas (Spencer Museum of Art)

The Spencer Museum of Art will rehouse and reorganize its collection of works of art on paper to ensure continued use by students, scholars, and general audiences. Nearly half of the museum's collection comprises works of art on paper, which are the most heavily used objects in the collection. Museum staff will mat a small number of works that require special measures to improve their safety while in storage and while being used by visiting classes and scholars. Rehousing and matting these works will enhance the existing conservation measures taken by staff and increase the accessibility of the collection for its many users. The renovated storage area will enable the museum to continue growing the collection in alignment with audience needs.
