PITTSFIELD — A World War I-era artillery round identified at the Berkshire Museum prompted a response from police and a military munitions team Thursday.

No one was injured, and the item was safely removed for disposal without incident, according to the museum.

Museum staff identified the item and determined it required expert handling. They immediately contacted the Pittsfield Police Department, which coordinated with State Police and a U.S. military munitions team from the Westover Air Reserve Base, the museum said.

Museum officials said additional items were reviewed as a precaution.

“All other related items in the collection were examined and confirmed inert,” the Berkshire Museum said in a statement.

“We are grateful to all of the agencies involved for their swift and professional response,” the statement read. “The safety of our staff, visitors, and community is always our top priority."

The museum is currently under renovation and closed to the public. It is expected to reopen to visitors this summer.

Zenas Crane, the third-generation owner of Crane & Company, the Dalton-based paper manufacturer and supplier of currency paper to the U.S. Treasury, founded the Berkshire Museum in 1903 and provided the initial collections.

Museum officials say Crane sought to create a “window on the world” by assembling a varied collection of fine art, natural science specimens and historical artifacts.

The museum’s diverse collection includes more than 40,000 objects, including the art and artifacts acquired by Crane.
