Collections Access: Henry Art Gallery

By: Rachael Faust

Through the months of May and June, Katie Williams, Museum Educator at the Northwest African American Museum, and I have been inviting museum professionals in the Puget Sound region to write about notable collections access initiatives/policies at their museums. Conversing over coffee on a recent sunny day in Seattle, we talked about upcoming projects at our museums and came up with the question: “How is your museum making, or aspiring to make, collections accessible and relevant beyond exhibitions?”
