We are a county history museum that also collects art by local artists.  We
don't have a separate collections policy for our art.  We simply follow our
mission statement that states that we are dedicated to collecting items
relevant to local history and cultural.  We have a separate art gallery for
displaying works, but since the artists are also considered historical
figures we haven't seen the need for a separate policy.
