Vol. 165: Wheeled cabinets in a teaching museum

 

Moving artifacts between classrooms and collections area

This Maryland museum had a fleet of counter-height Viking cabinets fitted with casters. The resulting carts keep artifacts organized while in transit between classrooms and the collections area, and removable doors facilitate transfer between the large and small cabinets.

“You can open up a cabinet, pull out the appropriate drawers for a lecture, put them in the small cabinet, and then roll it to a classroom,” the curator said. “These rolling collection carts make life a lot easier.”
