Museums at the Crossroads: Confluence & Connections

Increasing capacity,…embracing new audiences,…adapting new technologies,…employing best practices,…and competing for dwindling resources are among the kaleidoscope of challenges and opportunities faced by the nation’s museums.  Join your colleagues for the 2007 Mid-Atlantic Association of Museums Annual Meeting to explore these trends and choices.  Come to Pittsburgh and discover how you and your institution can flourish during these exciting times.

We are looking for session proposals that ask evocative questions and provide insightful answers; proposals that share good ideas and practical knowledge.  “Connect” with your colleagues in Pittsburgh by submitting a proposal about current issues relevant to the museum field.

Steel City.  Iron City.  City of Champions. City of Bridges.  City of Colleges.  Whatever Pittsburgh’s appellation du jour, this vibrant city located at the confluence of the Allegheny, Ohio and Monongahela Rivers has been widely and justly touted for its economic and cultural renaissance. The Carnegie Museums, the Frick Museum, the Andy Warhol, and Pittsburgh Children’s Museum and the Historical Society of Western Pennsylvania are among the world-class institutions that await you when you attend MAAM’s 2007 Annual Meeting.
