Lunchtime Looks

This month’s presentation will take a behind the scenes look at Collections Management and the presenter will be Karen Louvar. Karen is currently serving as Registrar at the Art Museum of WVU. She hopes to explain the importance of provenance and problem solving typical collection issues.

Karen will give a short PowerPoint, beginning at 12:20 in the Grand Hall. Afterwards, audience members will have a chance to ask questions, and the Museum galleries will be open for further exploration.

Prior to the talk, all are invited to bring a brown-bag lunch to the Museum Education Center Grand Hall at 12:00 PM to converse with Museum staff and fellow museum-goers as they enjoy their midday meal. The session will end by 1:00 p.m., for those who need to get back to their offices.
