Collecting in Context

Museum collections like the McNay’s are built very carefully by their curators to draw connections between objects, to show the evolution of a particular style or movement, or to give fascinating historical context to individual objects. Sometimes these connections are not always that visible or obvious. This exhibition will strive to change that. Drawing from the strengths of the McNay’s print collection and including many recent acquisitions, this exhibition will illustrate the connections a curator sees when making an acquisition, thus providing a fascinating view into how a museum builds its collection.
