ALBERTA MUSEUMS ASSOCIATION

À propos

Engaged, inclusive, and thriving museums at the heart of our communities.

Visit almost any Alberta community and at its heart you will find a museum. As integrated community institutions and custodians of community identity, museums are uniquely positioned to collect the unique perspectives of their community and to explore innovative solutions that help their communities adapt to change.

The Alberta Museums Association (AMA) leads, facilitates, and supports museums in their vital role with communities and leverages its programs to ensure that Alberta’s museums are leading contributors to the social, cultural, and educational fabric of Alberta.

About the AMA 

Established in 1971, the Alberta Museums Association (AMA) is a member organization for museums and museum professionals. The AMA is a leader and catalyst for dynamic connections among museums and communities and ensures that Alberta’s museums remain vital and sustainable through career development opportunities, grant funding, award-winning publications, advisory services, and strategic communications.
