Museums are keepers of history. Each collection has a focus, yet the public only sees a small percentage of a museum’s permanent collection. At the Albuquerque Museum, there are nearly 200,000 objects in the history collection. ................................................................ The art collection is 10,000 items strong, while the photo and digital archives is upwards of 3,000 images. “Like most of the museums, the Albuquerque Museum has a small percentage on display at any given time,” says Andrew Connors, museum director. “I was reading an article recently about the Louvre in Paris. The (museum) has more than 600,000 objects in its permanent collection. Yet there are only 38,000 on view. It’s pretty typical for a museum. We’re repositories for the future.”
