Explore the New Online Collection Search System

The Beach Museum of Art website now features a new, online collection search page powered by eMuseum from Gallery Systems. In 2020, registrars Sarah Price and Theresa Ketterer began the ambitious task of transitioning the museum’s collections database and online search system over to TMS Collections and eMuseum. The painstaking process meant overseeing the transfer of more than 11,000 works of art in the museum’s permanent collection. With the newly launched portal, users may easily search for pieces by selecting from a menu of categories such as Paintings, as shown below. The system provides access to more images and information than before and allows users to save and share favorites on a range of devices. Explore this exciting new resource at: https://beach.emuseum.com/collections!
