cultural conversation, in the beauty of art and culture, and the personal 
growth that results from education. We seek to change the way people interact 
with their world by providing a connection to learning through exploration and

opportunities of technology in the cultural and attraction space, that’s what

[MCN-L] Job Posting - Head Registrar, Cranbrook Art Museum and Cranbrook Center for Collections and Research, Bloomfield Hills, MI

2014-07-28 Thread Judy Dyki
POSITION AVAILABLE

HEAD REGISTRAR

CRANBROOK ART MUSEUM and CRANBROOK CENTER FOR COLLECTIONS AND RESEARCH

Bloomfield Hills, Michigan



Cranbrook Art Museum and the Cranbrook Center for Collections and Research are 
accepting applications for a joint Head Registrar position. This is a unique 
opportunity for an experienced registrar to work with the collections and 
exhibitions of a leading AAM-accredited contemporary art museum and the 
historic collections and architecture that comprise Cranbrook's world-renowned 
campus.

Cranbrook Art Museum is an integral part of Cranbrook Academy of Art, a 
community of Artists-in-Residence and graduate-level students of art, design, 
and architecture. In 2011, the Museum completed a $22M construction project, 
which realized not only the restoration of its landmark Eliel Saarinen-designed 
building and the installation of a state-of-the-art climate-control system, but 
also the addition of a new 30,000 square-foot Collections Wing. The Museum's 
collections and temporary exhibition program are the focus of the Head 
Registrar's work at the Museum. The collections are comprised of 6,000 objects 
from the Arts and Crafts Movement to the present, including the restored Art 
Deco house-museum Saarinen House; temporary exhibitions focus on the 
leading-edge of contemporary art, architecture, craft, and design.



The Cranbrook Center for Collections and Research, which includes Cranbrook 
Archives, centralizes Cranbrook's 110-year story and offers intellectual 
engagement with its collections and legacy. While the majority of these 
collections are part of the Institute of Science, Art Museum, or Archives, 
Cranbrook still has a wealth of objects that fall outside these three 
established collections. These Cultural Properties include the 
Saarinen-designed furniture in the Cranbrook Schools, the vast decorative arts 
and fine art collections in Cranbrook House (the founders' 1908-manor home 
designed by Albert Kahn), outdoor sculpture and stonework, and the 
artist-designed gates that populate Cranbrook's campus. Publically launched in 
2012, the Center's broadly defined mission includes the management, curatorial 
leadership, and interpretation of these Cultural Properties as well as 
Cranbrook's historic architecture (most notably Cranbrook House and Saarinen 
House). The Center's offices are housed within the Art Museum, where it is able 
to take full advantage of the Collections Wing. The management of Cranbrook's 
Cultural Properties is the focus of the Head Registrar's work for the Center.



The Head Registrar reports directly to the Art Museum's Director (who also 
serves as the Center's Director) and works collaboratively with the staffs of 
the Art Museum and the Center. In addition to all responsibilities related to 
the management of the Museum's collections and loans (including those 
associated with its temporary exhibitions, accessions and deaccessions, outdoor 
sculpture collection, and Saarinen House) and Cranbrook's Cultural 
Properties-ensuring that objects are handled and installed in accordance with 
the field's highest standards of care and preservation-some key 
responsibilities include working with Campus Public Safety to oversee the 
Museum's security systems and taking an active role in the security of Cultural 
Properties campus-wide; working with Cranbrook Facilities to oversee the 
Museum's climate control system; managing the collections management database 
system used for Museum and Cultural Properties collections (TMS by Gallery 
Systems), including the development and implementation of a public web-based 
interface; organizing and controlling all art storage vaults in the Collections 
Wing and storage areas for Cultural Properties across the campus; coordinating 
work with contracted conservators; developing policies and responding to 
inquiries concerning Rights and Reproductions; and coordinating Cranbrook's 
fine arts insurance coverage. The Head Registrar supervises two key 
positions-the Museum's Head Preparator and Exhibition Designer, and the 
Center's part-time Associate Registrar-as well as Academy work-study students 
and, as funding permits, the Museum's temporary Registrar Assistants.



The ideal candidate will have a Master's degree in Museum Studies, Art History, 
or a related field; eight years of professional experience in a registrar's 
office that includes experience in records management, art transport 
arrangements, accessioning and deaccessioning, loan management, exhibition 
management, database management (TMS preferred), strong computer skills, and 
administrative and supervisory experience; and a thorough understanding of 
accepted museum registration practices, art handling techniques, US customs and 
copyright laws, and risk management practices and standards. The position 
demands attention to detail and requires excellent interpersonal skills with 
the ability to communicate with individuals both inside
