Here are the upcoming online professional development opportunities at Museum Study for August & September.



Keeping Historic Houses & Museums Clean 4 week online course begins August 7 on MuseumStudy.com An unkempt museum or historic house is not appealing to the visitor nor is it healthy for the staff and collection. In this 4 week online course instructor Gretchen Anderson will lay a foundation as to how to clean objects and facilities safely.
