I have had some interesting discussions recently about the number of
museums that keep popping up around the country (science, art, history,
etc.).  Before "issue based" exhibits and museums, these institutions were
primarily "object based" (I realize we could debate this point to, but it
is not my question).

There are not enough objects for all the museums that are being
created.  While museums often loan objects to other institutions for
exhibitions, I was wondering if museums have developed an "object share"
program.  For example, a large institution often can not display all their
collections at once.  Do these institutions have programs with smaller
museums to "store" and "display" their artworks?  If you know of programs
like this, please let me know.

Many thanks,
Felicia
