We also do this at Tate - depends on the type of object and how parts
relate to a whole

We do the same thing at the Whitney.  Its so easy to do a quick move and
select the components you want to move if the whole lot isn't moving
together.

Dear Julie,
For something like a Tea Service set, here at the BMA what we do is
create one record for the set, and then add components to that record
for each piece.  This way we can record locations for each piece,
especially if only some pieces were to be displayed or go out on loan.
For us it's important to handle it this way so we can have correct
component counts for collections management <snip>
