Becoming a Hub City
As more museums participate in Museums for All, more communities are identifiable as “Hub Cities,” defined as a community with at least three Museums for All museums. In some hub cities, museums work closely with one another to support their Museums for All work. Other hub cities have looser connections between the museums.
In December 2018, representatives from fifteen hub city museums met to share the effective practices in their communities. Read the Museums for All Hub Convening Summary.
