Abstract
Collecting is one of the key functions of a museum. But it brings with it many critical issues and problems. Today, more and more museums are looking for answers to questions such as: How to collect in a strategic and efficient way? How to look after the collected objects properly? And how to use these objects in open and stimulating ways? This paper looks at the usefulness of a Collection Development Strategy and how it can offer great help in managing a museum’s collecting activities.
