Beyond the Centennial: The Changing Face of Museums in the 21st Century

Our 2012 Annual Conference is set for Wednesday, November 7 through Saturday, November 10 in Albuquerque’s Old Town. Mark the dates and register early for the best discounts and availability of the behind the scenes tours.

After its founding in 1706 by Governor Francisco Cuervo y Valdez, the focal point of community life in Albuquerque was the plaza. Centered around the plaza, Old Town encompasses about ten blocks of historic adobe buildings and is the home of the Albuquerque Museum of Art and History, New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science, and Explora, all of which we will visit on Wednesday during a progressive welcoming reception. Enjoy great restaurants, shops, antique stores, galleries, and the St. Claire Winery.

The NMAM Board of Directors wishes to thank Mary Beth Hermans and Nancy Woodward for serving as co-chairs for local arrangements, and to the membership of the Museum Cooperative Council of Albuquerque for their assistance in offering venues and sponsorships.
