Scope note
Refers to tangible objects capable of being moved or conveyed from one place to another, as opposed to real estate or other buildings. The term is borrowed from legal jargon. Art and other cultural works may be classified in two broad categories: movable works and built works. Movable works, which are typically located in a repository, have a repository identification number, have a provenance of former locations, and other characteristics that do not apply to built works.
