I work at a small art museum and we are putting together an exhibition that includes several objects we inherited from a now-closed museum, but one that people in our area will remember. We are trying to figure out how to phrase the credit line on the exhibition labels so that it's clear where the objects came from, and clear that the museum is now closed, without adding a ton of additional words to the labels.

We have brainstormed the following options:

• Formerly in the Collection of the Museum of Now Closed Art...
• Transferred from the Museum of Now Closed Art Collection...
• Transferred from the Museum of Now Closed Art...
• The Museum of Now Closed Art Collection at the (Our Museum Name)...

In all cases, this phrase would be followed by the standard "gift of Donor Name" language that we use on all of the labels.

Does one of these flow better than the others? Do you have any other suggestions? Any help is appreciated.
