Museums Beyond Reopening: Thriving in Your New Normal

Free Webinar: Wednesday, May 27, 10:00 a.m. CT

Ellen Cone Busch, Director of Historic Sites Operations, Texas Historical Commission

In the midst of a pandemic that will likely impact our lives for the next 18-36 months, how will your museum continue to do business? Will you survive or thrive? The day after reopening is the first day of your new normal. This discussion will focus on planning in times of uncertainty, developing a toolbox to keep your museum agile and resilient, and thinking entrepreneurially to grow in your mission. We’ll look at how to modify your operations to meet the challenges the pandemic has brought, build new revenue streams, and use this time of change to make your museum stronger.
