2008 August Forum: Innovative Approaches to Adult Programs
Recently Washington DC area museum educators gathered for an afternoon of presentations and roundtable discussions to explore of how museums are rethinking adult programs.
Did you attend? Tell us about your thoughts on new approaches to adult programming in on the MER blog!
These museums are getting adults to sneak like spies, excercise in front of art and to listen to Ska among the sculpture. Ask yourself "Why didn't I think of Gay Day?"
