About this award
The Denver Art Museum will receive $620,045 from the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the Museums for America federal grant program to implement environmental improvements and collections rehousing activities. Specifically, the museum will install new storage screens for large two-dimensional artworks, inventory, move, and rehouse works in the collection with the assistance of two part-time collection assistants. The museum will also work with a fine art shipper to relocate works from an off-site location to a new campus building. As a result of these efforts between September 2022 and August 2024, the museum aims to make its collection more accessible internally for staff and to public researchers. The Museums for America program supports priority activities that advance museums' missions and strategic goals.
Description

Museum staff will hire and train two part-time collections assistants for the project, and staff will work with a contracted fine art shipper to move works in the collection from an off-site location to a new building on the museum's campus. As a result of the project, the project team will make works in the collection more accessible internally for staff as well as for public researchers visiting the collection.
