Description:

Sound business practices are critical for a museum to fulfill its 
mission. Sounds like vegetables, right? Museum management is complex. A 
museum exists to preserve collections and educate, but it is also an 
institution that must employ sound business practices while being 
accountable to the public as a non-profit organization. Instructor Sue 
Near teaches participants how to administer a successful museum 
efficiently and effectively. Participants will engage in discussions 
about the changing cultural climate and its effect on museum operations.

Description:

As we march boldly toward the 22nd century, artifact collecting includes 
that most fragile of materials – plastic. Not only is it in our 
collections, but it is used to house our collections, too. What problems 
have you seen? What problems have others seen? What materials are best? 
What can we, as caretakers, do to minimize long-term damage? Join Diana 
in this mini-course for discussing care and deterioration of plastics. 
Bring any questions you have about plastics in your museum.

Instructor: Karin Hostetter

Location: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__museumclasses.org&d=AwIDaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=M13_RRjJTPfTEkTdLCLIFka2dsbnaUvU-MhaRrp6Urk&s=3eeg6WoUiuPPy854BaDmd8ulsEG0EWYg0Hkr_uwUkws&e= 

Description:

What do you do with collection objects that no longer belong in the 
scientific collection but are too good to throw out? What do you do with 
the donations that just don't quite 'fit?' Use them in education 
collections. Their value as educational objects for the public is 
immeasurable.
