Museums and private collectors

Museums and private collectors have countless artifacts including collectibles, artwork, manuscripts, textiles, and more. Many of them are kept in storage to protect them from fading and other damage from exposure to light. But they didn’t acquire their collections to keep them from rarely being seen or to present them in dimly lit rooms.
