Museums, Relationships, & Trust

2023 Annual Conference

We’ve seen the research – museums consistently rank among the most trusted institutions in the US. But research has also shown recent trust in public institutions is wavering, and our work as a field is not immune. While many museums have worked hard to build relationships in our communities, we know our work is far from done. And some historical interactions in the field has led some of our audiences to not see themselves as belonging to museums at all.

How can museums bridge this gap?

How can we build (or rebuild, if necessary) and strengthen the trust, relationships, and partnerships that are crucial to our places as community cornerstones? What can we do to ensure our organizations are truly reflective of our audiences, and a place where everyone can feel a sense of belonging, engagement, & ownership? How can museums continue to be leaders for community, fun, learning, and stewardship?

Join us in Newark-Lancaster, March 25-27 as we explore these topics and more at the 2023 Ohio Museums Association’s Annual Conference: Museums, Relationships, & Trust.
