Will my object be put on display?

Many donors want people to enjoy and learn from their object and collections. Museums have limited space to display objects and your object may not always be on display. This does not mean that people cannot access the object if they want to see it.

Researchers – from university scholars up to school children will have access to the object or collection on request. Details of your object, and perhaps a photograph, will be listed on the museum's acquisition catalogue. This may be available to millions of potential users across the world, thanks to the internet.

Museums like to keep changing their displays: it means that there is always something new for visitors to see. Your object or collection may be part of a display in the future.
