The balance between collections preservation and access is familiar in theory and practice. We are now tasked to add a third element to this precarious balance: sustainability. Three panelists will discuss the challenges faced and solutions to incorporat - ing sustainability measures in museums. The panel will consider the multifaceted meanings of sustainability including environ - mental and fiscal sustainability, longevity and resiliency of collections, and the museum’s role in sustaining communities through environmental and social justice.
