TOLEDO COVERAGE OF THE ANS MOVEA local Toledo news station covered the news as well. -Editor The American Numismatic Society - an organization dedicated to the research and preservation of coins, currency and medals, will relocate its location from the Big Apple to the Glass City. In a piece on Numismatic News, the American Numismatic Society wrote on Thursday that it would be moving itself and its collection from New York City to Toledo in the first half of 2028. The nearly 170-year-old organization announced it would be specifically moving to a location on the Toledo Museum of Art's campus, where a dedicated museum hall and gallery spaces will allow the organization to host exhibitions, as well as showcase its archives. The society said some of its objects will be on public display for the first time ever. 
Its building, located at 1828 Parkwood Ave., will feature a library, auditorium and education center, the society said. It will join TMA following the art museum's planned reinstallation project, which is set for completion in 2027. The society described its move to Toledo as one that will allow for more space to care for, study and display its collections. Additionally, it described Toledo as a "community in the former major industrial city now undergoing a cultural revival," a movement it said it wants to contribute to through programming and research. ANS also said in addition to its partnership with TMA, it plans to partner with other local organizations and venues for further study, public engagement, academic conferences and more. The society holds the most comprehensive collection of numismatic objects in the United States, it said. This includes nearly 800,000 coins, monetary objects, art medals and more from around the world and throughout history. WTOL 11 reached out to the Toledo Museum of Art for comment. A spokesperson provided the following: "We could not be more excited as a Museum or as a community to welcome the American Numismatic Society to the city as our neighbor," said Toledo Museum of Art Director Adam Levine."ANS is the perfect partner to enrich our collection displays with the integration of superlative works of monetary history."
