Collections

The core function of Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center is to preserve and protect artifacts, photographs and printed materials which illustrate the rich history of the Wenatchee Valley. Some of these objects are on display in the Museum; others are housed in our collections in the lower level of our two-building facility. Items on display and in collections are rotated as part of preservation and documentation. Collections artifacts and archives are identified, photographed, and filed in a database. They are then properly housed and stored in a temperature-controlled environment to protect from
deterioration.

Collections Room

The Wenatchee Valley Museum currently accepts historical items, art, and cultural material as a donation if it is in good condition and fits our mission statement. A committee of board members, staff members, and community members review potential donations on a bi-monthly basis.
