We have in the museum collections (there are also archaeological, archives and paleo collections which I am not counting) about 60,000 objects of which 6-8% or on view somewhere at any time. This could be in our main gallery, on exhibit in one of our temporary galleries, at one of our 10 branch museums, or on loan somewhere.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] percentage of your collection on view
Dear Colleagues,
I know that the answer to my question "What percentage of your collection is on view?" will vary by the size of the institution, the number of objects in the collection, etc. , but I am going to ask the question anyway in hopes of getting a number of responses.
If you reply, please let me know the size of your collection and what percent you consider on view.
Thank you in adance.
