The Museum as Collector
ADAA Collectors' Forum
Saturday, February 24, 10:00AM
An historic gathering of top museum directors will discuss one of the most critical issues affecting the art world today - the building of major collections. With prices at astronomical levels, the atmosphere has never been more heated and challenging. How will institutions compete with key collectors for the world's most important works of art? What strategies are museums using to survive and thrive?
