Member Meet Up: Packing for the Future: The Collections Project

Join us in Root Hall at the Cici & Hyatt Brown Museum of Art, Science & History for an exclusive look inside one of the most ambitious projects in The Brown's history. As we prepare to move our entire collection of more than 30,000 objects to our future new building, our curatorial team is undertaking a massive effort—documenting, conserving, and carefully packing each piece for its journey.
In this special members-only program, staff will share the fascinating process behind this monumental collections project. Discover what it takes to prepare diverse objects for safe storage and transport, learn about the meticulous care and documentation required, and hear about unexpected discoveries being made along the way.
This is a unique opportunity to go behind the curtain during this transformational moment and see firsthand the extraordinary work that goes into caring for and preserving our collection for future generations.
This program is free and only for members of The Brown. Advanced registration is required as seating is limited.
