Labels are identifying text for an artwork placed in a museum room containing an exhibition. Label information may include the name of the artist who created the artwork, the title and dimensions of the object, its media, date of creation, owner, accession number and in some cases a block of didactic text interpreting the artwork. This information is also referred to as "tombstones."
