Provenance research seeks to trace the ownership history of an object from the time of creation until today. Conducting this kind of research is a time consuming and painstaking process - so what happens when you are offered over 1500 ancient art objects stored in an old swimming pool, and have months to decide whether to accept or reject the gift? Provenance researcher Dr. Annie Shanley discusses how the Michael C. Carlos Museum balanced ethical collecting practices and practical logistical concerns when accepting the Senusret Collection, the generous gift from the Georges Ricard Foundation.
