The Museum of Procurement
New location coming soon!
Details coming soon.
It has been said that the history of civilization is the history of procurement.
Procurement is all around us; the device you’re reading this on, the clothes you’re wearing, and the food you eat all had to be procured from somewhere. After all, civilization is about moving stuff into the right place at the right time.
In Arkestro’s Museum of Procurement exhibit, you’ll learn more about how different cultures handled procurement, billing, debt, accounting, and other concepts vital to a functioning civilization. Starting in 4000 BCE, the museum of procurement tracks the history of procurement in chronological order.
“For anyone interested in creating the future of the procurement and supply chain profession, we believe engaging with the past is critical.”
