West Bay Common School to Exhibit at American Association of Museums Expo May 22-25, 2011
The American Association of Museums will hold their Annual Meeting and Expo in Houston this year returning only every 20-30 years. It is the largest conference of its kind in the country with over 5000 attendees from across the nation.
CSAA member, West Bay Common School of League City, TX, is one of only 6 small local museums offered the opportunity to host a booth in the foyer of the George R. Brown Convention Center to spotlight their museum.
The foyer exhibit was started last year in what is called the Discover Zone, and they are going now to do it every year. This area focuses on hands-on or experiential history activities, which is why West Bay Common School fits so well. Visit the West Bay website to see the many activities that convinced the AMM of it's importance in the world of museums...of all sizes.
Catharin Lewis is the director and curator of the West Bay Common School Museum and a very active member in the Country School Association of America. She is ably assisted by her husband, Richard Lewis, of the CSAA Board of Directors.
The AAM conference will be held in Houston, TX from May 22-25th at the George R. Brown Convention Center. For more information access their website at:
