Norwalk, CT - The Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum is proud to announce that it is one of 75 institutions in the United States selected to participate in the Collections Assessment for Preservation (CAP) program.

CAP helps museums improve the care of their collections by providing support for a general conservation assessment of the museum’s collections and buildings. The Museum will work with a team of preservation professionals to identify preventive conservation priorities. The final assessment report will help the museum prioritize its collections care efforts in the coming years.

LMMM Chairman of the Board of Trustees Patsy Brescia, said, “ I am very pleased that we have received this CAP grant as it will be very helpful with the planning and implementation of the upcoming mechanical improvement project scheduled over the next few years.”

The CAP program is administered by the Foundation for Advancement in Conservation through a cooperative agreement with the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
