In the latest edition of the American Alliance of Museums forecasting report TrendsWatch: Building the Post-Pandemic World, AAM cites the following signals of the future:

31% –of museums reported that they had no digital strategy going into the pandemic
76% –of museum directors intend to continue virtual/online practices implemented for programming during the pandemic and portion of global workers who don’t feel ready to operate in a digital-first world
56% –of American museums are having difficulty filling positions
90% –of cultural heritage from Sub-Saharan Africa resides in Western collections
50 –the number of counties in the US expected to experience temperatures above 125ºF in 2023

If you were to open a museum tomorrow, what would you prioritize? What is at the center of what you need? What would you keep? What would you change?

Join MANY and your museum colleagues for a roundtable discussion based on the recently-published collection of essays “Change is Required: Preparing for the Post-Pandemic Museum.”*
