University of Pennsylvania (Penn Museum)

The University of Pennsylvania’s Penn Museum will launch Museums: Missions and Acquisitions Project (M2A). M2A will investigate the current policies and practices surrounding museum collections through in-depth focus groups and interviews with practitioners, directed desk research and content analysis of open sources, a representative field-wide survey, and the continued collection of data resulting from the Cultural Property Experts on Call Program (CPEOC), a partnership between the University of Pennsylvania and the U.S. Department of State.
