Backstory: Digitizing the Museum Collection

A working digitization laboratory and open storage featuring hundreds of works from the Fine Arts Collection. Developed in conjunction with UC Davis students in the Fall 2025 Exhibition Practicum course. By bringing 'back of house' activity to the front, this project is a window into the museum's 10th anniversary digitization initiative. Visitors can glimpse key practices related to collections management including how artworks are researched, documented and photographed.
