YES! The Minnesota Association of Museums – of which Dorothy’s is a part of – is hosting its annual conference in Ely this September!
The Minnesota Association of Museums strengthens Minnesota through service to its museum community by offering educational opportunities, fostering communication and collaboration, and promoting Minnesota’s museums as a public resource.
At the annual conference, you are able to join with museum professionals from across our state and dig into how your institution, next program or exhibit, or your own position can be a part of creating healthy communities.
