The American Association of Museums
The American Association of Museums (AAM) has been bringing museums together since 1906, helping develop standards and best practices, gathering and sharing knowledge, and providing advocacy on issues of concern to the entire museum community. AAM is dedicated to ensuring that museums remain a vital part of the American landscape, connecting people with the greatest achievements of the human experience in the past, present, and future.
AAM is the only organization comprehensively representing museums and the staff who work for and with them. AAM currently represents more than 15,000 individual museum professional and volunteer staff members, 3,000 institutions, and 300 corporate members. Individual members span the entire range of museum occupations, including directors, curators, registrars, educators, exhibition designers, public relations officers, development officers, security managers, trustees, and volunteers.
