about the program
MuseumLab for Museum Professionals melds synchronous in-person and online learning with peer coaching and mentorship.
Participants will address deep questions and practical realities—about how to conceptualize and create exhibits and programs that emphasize creativity, authenticity, and originality; invite visitors into the process; integrate new technologies; think entrepreneurially; deepen accessibility; and engage emotions—all through playful, engaging learning experiences that make museums what they are.
The program will guide participants as they turn those deep questions into actionable implementation plans and receive customized support in prototyping and scaling those plans within their organizations and beyond.
