Storage and rotation

Curatorial habits of mind can prevent impulse-buying. But even if consistently applied, one will still have items stored in closets. 

A museum seldom have more than 10 per cent of its holdings on view. Curators work with registrars to ensure that collections remain active through gallery rotations and touring exhibitions.

Storage does not have to mean dead space but can be seen as a dynamic part of life where items are stored in such a way that they are always present in your mind.
