This webinar
explores why interpretive planning is an important part of an organizational
plan and what to consider in your planning process, including your museum’s
education/interpretation philosophy, intended goals and outcomes, visitor
experience, use of media, and evaluation. Colleagues share case studies and
resources related to interpretive plans and their implementation in a variety of
small institutions.
In collaboration
with the Small Museum Administrators’ Committee (SMAC) and the Education
