What is the American Alliance of Museums (AAM)?
The American Alliance of Museums (AAM) is the only organization representing the entire scope of the museum community. Founded in 1906, AAM’s mission is to champion museums and nurture excellence in partnership with our members and allies. From art museums to science centers, arboretums to zoos, the Alliance represents members of the diverse museum community who all share a dedication to standards of excellence. In addition to developing best practices and advocating for museums, AAM also provides opportunities to museum professionals, volunteers, and museum service providers to support, connect, and share knowledge with each other.
