I agree with Katherine. The more museums can do to inform the public on how they are stewards of their collections, the better. People are naturally interested in "the process" -- take a look at restaurants that have kitchens open for public viewing. Even a short video I installed for a glass show that showed a glass artist at work was highly successful. Process is important for any complete understanding.

Subject: Re: Viewing Collections Work Rooms
The Museum of Fine Art in Santa Fe has a wonderful space that allows people to view staff at work in collections area, some open storage for visitiors to investigate, and a staff person to talk to visitors. It is on their lower level. My understanding is that this is not all of
collections storage. This seems ideal - staff knows that they are on view in this space.
I am trained as both a curator and an educator. I think informing the public about our work as museum professionals is important.
