Join us in shaping the future of professional development for museum leaders as a member of the inaugural cohort of MuseumLab for Museum Professionals. This 8-month professional learning program is designed to spark creative innovation that will make museums nimble in proactively adapting to our communities’ changing needs. Hosted through a collaborative partnership of the Association of Children’s Museums and Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh and guided by a steering committee of established leaders in the museum field, the program will meld synchronous in-person and online learning with personalized coaching from experts.
Participants will address deep questions and practical realities—about how to conceptualize and create exhibits and programs that emphasize creativity, health and justice, integrate new technologies, think entrepreneurially, deepen accessibility, and engage emotions— all through the playful, engaging learning experiences that make children’s museums who 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.
