Museum applies for Accreditation

The Museum of Moab has officially applied for Accreditation with he American Association of Museums(AAM).

The Program will analyze the Museums programs and practices to see if they compare to a Accreditable Museum. In 2006 the Museum went through the AAM's Museum Assessment Program(MAP) where they received the recommendation to pursue accreditation.

Accreditation will allow the museum to work with other institutions to provide better programs and exhibits. Additionally accredited institutions may apply to become holding facilities for artifacts and memorabilia found on federal land.

With Accreditation the Museum hopes to improve across the board allowing it to better connect with the People of Moab.
