There are pressures within the museum that cause it to
emphasise what happens in the galleries over the activities that
take place in its unseen zones. In an era when museums are
forced to increase their earnings, they often focus their
energies on modernising their galleries or mounting temporary
exhibitions to bring more and more audiences through the
door. In other words, as museums struggle to survive in a
competitive economy, their budgets often prioritise those parts
of themselves that are consumable: infotainment in the galleries,
goods and services in the cafes and the shops. The unlit,
unglamorous storerooms, if they are ever discussed, are at best
presented as service areas that process objects for the exhibition
halls. And at worst, as museums pour more and more resources
into their publicly visible faces, the spaces of storage may
even suffer, their modernisation being kept on hold or being
given less and less space to house the expanding collections
and serve their complex conservation needs.
