#ARCSchat December: The Post COVID Courier

For the field of collections care, 2020 has been a year of challenges and change. Filled with worldwide lock downs and government-mandated travel bans, institutions have been forced to dramatically revise how they manage the care of their traveling collections. With an uncertain timeline ahead of us, are these changes temporary, or have we started to embark on a “new normal”?

 

As this year winds down to a close, join #ARCSchat as we discuss with panelists Errin Copple of LACMA, Marie Knidler of Louvre Abu Dhabi/Agence France Museums, Stefanii Ruta Atkins of MoMA, and Sara Buehler of the Brandywine River Museum of Art how the uncertain future of the courier might start to take shape, and what permanent changes might actually remain as we move forward.
