Rediscovering and Leveraging Your Museum Collection will explain how, over the past seven years, the Everson Museum curatorial and collections staff have implemented forty-two innovative exhibitions primarily featuring work from the Museum's collection as a way to increase access to collection objects and as a collections management tool.
