This year’s themes — Mission, Values, and the Politics of Pressure and The Next Era of Volunteerism — confront the challenges and opportunities shaping museums’ relevance, resilience, and role in society.

  • Day 1 of The Museum Summit explores strategies for navigating external pressures with integrity, transparency, and long-term sustainability.
