Reopening the Academic Museum Amidst COVID-19

This panel took place on Tuesday, June 9, 2020, at 2pm eastern time.

How do we negotiate reopening when many of us are the “front door” to our colleges and universities? AAMG members in various stages of reopening their spaces will discuss their plans, protocols, challenges, and opportunities for staying in line with college and university missions, and keeping visitors and staff of our spaces as safe as possible in getting back to work. We anticipate this session to be a forum for discussion and a space to work through some of these issues many of us are currently facing in reopening our own spaces. Whatever stage your space is in, we welcome you to join in on the conversation.

Speakers included:

  • Craig Hadley, Executive Director and Chief Curator
    • Dennos Museum Center
    • Northwestern Michigan College
    • AAMG Treasurer
  • Katie Lee-Koven, Executive Director and Chief Curator
