Great Universities Have Great Museums
Our nation’s museums preserve our past and stand as vibrant cultural centers for their respective communities. Academic museums and galleries do even more! They are the training ground for the nation’s next generation of cultural leaders, the first engagement for many of our young with original objects, and campus centers for interdisciplinary discussion.
We believe that “Great Universities Have Great Museums.” AAMG leads a national effort to insure the best practices for academic museums, galleries and collections through its educational and advocacy efforts.
