The University of Pennsylvania's Penn Museum will launch the "Museums: Missions and Acquisitions" (M2A) project, which is funded by a $1,103,699 Project Grant awarded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) under the National Leadership Grants for Museums (CFDA 45.312) program. The M2A project will investigate current policies and practices surrounding museum collections through focus groups, interviews, desk research, field-wide surveys, and continued data collection from the Cultural Property Experts on Call program, a partnership between Penn and the U.S. Department of State. This research initiative aims to advance professional practices and develop innovative models, tools, and collaborative approaches that can be widely used to strengthen museum services for the American public.
