Artefacts of stature migrate to an offsite location in Project Move By Irina Skvortsova, Curatorial Assistant (Summer/Fall 2007)

On a typical visit to the Museum of Heath Care one gets to glimpse only a small fraction of the artefacts in Museum’s collection; the remaining thousands are tucked away in storage rooms and sprin- kled around the rest of the building. A steady flow of medical artefacts and curi- osities trickle into the Museum each year, shrinking the limited space there is left.

In hopes of creating the most advanta- geous use of existing space for storage and more public areas in the Museum, the curatorial staff embarked on a major PROJECT MOVE this past summer, the aim of which has been to transfer big, heavy, bulky artefacts to an offsite stor- age.
