The Collections Management team at the Woodland Cu

The Collections Management team at the Woodland Cultural Centre hopes everyone enjoyed our artifact picks representing each year the Centre has been in operation. ⁠
⁠
These were fifty items highlighting the depth and scope of the Centre’s artifacts, archives, and art collections of almost 50,000 individual pieces. ⁠
⁠
We aspired to engage audience interest in the Woodland Cultural Centre collections, as well as show an example of the work done in the Collections Management field. ⁠
⁠
Less than 10% of artifacts/art/archives held by any museum are on display at any given time. This series has allowed the Collections team to showcase more of the collections; including items that are not in a condition that would allow them to be exhibited. ⁠
