Bringing Museums into the 21st Century

Many museums struggle with the ability to keep up with the demands of their patrons. This is seen so frequently in more rural settings. This is seen on so many levels of the demands from funding, availability, volunteers, rotation of exhibits, artifacts, etc. Our rural areas in the United States make up a large portion of museums, that are available in our country. There are so many amazing museums to visit all over the world, but people would be amazed at some of the museums, that are right out their backdoor and yet they live so close and never get the opportunity to visit those museums. Sometimes we travel half way around the world or across the country to see museums and forget the fact we have so many museums and historical landmarks near our areas, especially in the area I live in and grow up around all my life.

This week I am going to blog about some of my favorite museums. I will be looking at some smaller museums and some larger museums. I am looking forward to this weeks blogs. I will be sharing a museum a day starting Monday, September 9th-Sunday, September 15th.
