Advocacy

As the American Alliance of Museums, we are working to unite the country’s museums from art museums to zoos and everything in between to make a broader impact. 

Each year, approximately 850 million visitors pass through our hallways and absorb our important lessons about the past, present and future. The Alliance helps museums tell our story more effectively and promotes a deeper understanding of museums.

Museums Advocacy Day 2013: Feb. 25-26

Join us and help make the case that museums are essential—as education providers and economic drivers—in every community.
