LEVERAGING BEST PRACTICES IN ANCIENT EGYPTIAN COLLECTION MANAGEMENT: INSIGHTS FROM THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART
This paper delves into the best practices in ancient Egyptian collection management at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (MET) and explores avenues for other institutions to glean from the MET's expertise. Renowned as a pioneer in museum operations, particularly concerning the preservation and interpretation of ancient Egyptian artifacts, the MET employs meticulous cat-aloging, innovative conservation methods, and strategic knowledge dissemination to ensure the long-term sustainability of its collection. This study elucidates the key principles and methodologies embraced by the MET and elucidates how museums worldwide can leverage these practices to bolster their own collection management strategies. By embracing the MET's expertise, insti-tutions can elevate standards of preservation, research, and public engagement, thereby fostering the global promotion and understanding of ancient Egyptian heritage. This collaborative approach not only enriches the value of museum collections but also fortifies their significance as educational and cultural pillars in the contemporary era of digitization and globalization.
