Avoiding Extinction: Thriving in the 21st Century

This year’s theme emphasizes the importance of adapting and evolving to ensure that museums remain resilient and relevant in a rapidly changing world. Together, we’ll explore strategies and best practices for museum administration, collections, education, and exhibits. From integrating new technologies to addressing pressing challenges like staff burnout, we’ll focus on building a strong, thriving future for Montana’s museums.
