Museum associations

Museum associations are organizations that support and promote the interests of museums and their professionals. They provide resources, advocacy, and networking opportunities to museum staff, helping to enhance their skills and effectiveness. These associations often set standards for best practices in museum management, conservation, education, and exhibit design. They also host conferences, publish research, and offer training programs to foster collaboration and innovation within the museum community. By bringing together diverse perspectives, museum associations play a vital role in improving public access to culture, history, and education through the arts.
