As a longtime museum advocate, I know personally how important these institutions are for their communities and visitors.”
The mission of MPMA is to serve as a regional organization of museums and museum professionals that advocates excellence in the field, provides a forum for communication between its members, and shares creative learning opportunities with the region’s diverse audiences.
