Host: Institute of Museum and Library Services
The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) will release the results of its pilot National Museum Survey (NMS) during a webinar on January 23, 2024 at 2 p.m. ET. Speakers will highlight how the successful completion of the pilot serves as the foundation for the first-ever annual federal survey to gather and share data about the essential work happening across the country in museums and cultural institutions.
Set to launch in early 2025, the IMLS-sponsored NMS will create the first federal, free-of-charge, and publicly available database of credible statistics on museums and related institutions, allowing for new policy approaches to more efficiently invest in the infrastructure of the nation’s heritage.
