    Museums Uncovered: Meeting Colleagues and Sharing Ideas

    This series of programs offers Ohio museum professionals the opportunity to gather, discuss and learn about other museums in Ohio. Each program features a "behind-the-scenes" event focusing on an important issue. If your museum is doing something innovative or has had to tackle a problem that you would like to share, please let OMA know. We will do our best to schedule a Museums Uncovered program at your museum.

    Support OMA with your
    tax-deductible donation!

    A contribution to the Ohio Museums Association will help us continue to provide important programs and services to Ohio’s Museums.
