“The art collections, which were acquired through purchases and contributions since the museum's inception, are not recognized as assets on the statement of financial position. Purchases of art collection items are recorded as decreases in unrestricted net assets in the year in which the items are acquired or as temporarily restricted net assets if the assets used to purchase the items are restricted by donors. Contributed collection items are not reflected on the financial statements. Proceeds from deaccessions or insurance recoveries are reflected as increases in the appropriate net asset classes. The museum maintains a collection of visual art materials or objects, supporting archive materials, a teaching collection and a resource library. The collection is eclectic in scope with a concentration of, but not limited to, later 20th century american art. Each of the items is cataloged, preserved, and cared for, and activities verifying their existence and assessing their condition are performed continuously. The collections are subject to a policy that requires proceeds from their sales to be deposited to the credit of "collection management and development funds." the museum does not accept any acquisitions with any donor imposed restrictions. The value of the museum's permanent collection is not generally subject to a reasonable estimation.”
