Why can't the Museum accept everything? Why weren't my items accepted?
Documenting, cataloguing, preserving, and storing artifacts are very costly. Every Museum must be discriminating about what is accepted because each has a defined mission and limited resources. Items are declined if they do not meet our collecting criteria, if the Museum already owns duplicates or similar representations, or if their condition is poor.
