Professional Practices for Academic Museums & Galleries

The Association of Academic Museums and Galleries (AAMG) provides best practices drawn from those of other museum organizations–American Alliance of Museums (AAM), Association of Art Museum Directors (AAMD), American Association for State and Local History (AASLH), and Association of Art Museum Curators (AAMC)–that are aligned with the categories currently used by AAM to better guide museums on the path to national accreditation or reaccreditation.
