My own personal rule is that however much space you allot for collections, you will be looking to expand it in 10 years.

A letter always seemed to me like immortality because it is the mind alone without corporeal friend.

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding collection storage space and
exhibit space. On the collection storage is there any rule of thumb
ie, size of collection, how many square feet (metes) per object etc.
What I am looking for is if you were given the opportunity and the means
to build a new facility what amount of space would you allocate for
collection storage or how would you determine how much space you will
need. Same for exhibit space.
thanks
