Welcome to
Baltimore
Dear Colleagues,
It is our pleasure to welcome you to Baltimore for the 107th edition of this event
and the first under the aegis of the American Alliance of Museums, birthed last
September. Though much has changed for AAM, this meeting still remains its
signature event, the largest annual gathering of museum professionals in the
world. And for the city of Baltimore, it has led to a renewed sense of camaraderie
and spirit of collaboration, resulting in the Baltimore Museum Week celebration
coinciding with your visit to the city.
Museum people are curious, caring and committed to serving others. The staff of
both AAM and the enthusiastic host museums here in Baltimore will undoubtedly
reinforce this truth during the Annual Meeting. We celebrate Baltimore’s rich
cultural and literary tradition with our theme of “The Power of Story.” In the
sessions, events, and networking you do in Baltimore this week, you will be
introduced to new and fascinating stories of caring, community-oriented museums.
The stories you hear this week will help shape your vision for your museum, your
community and your career.
Baltimore has demonstrated its unwavering support of its museums for two
centuries. We look forward to showing you why that is. Thank you for your support
of the American Alliance of Museums. We hope the quality of this Annual Meeting
goes far toward expressing our appreciation.

Highlights
Six-Word Project
Museum Week
Share Your Six Words
For the fourth consecutive year, the host city for
the Alliance Annual Meeting & MuseumExpo
decided to take advantage of the museum world
coming to their hometown to create a city-wide
promotion. Baltimore Museum Week is May
19–24, with 20 area museums offering an array of
activities, including special buy-one-get-one-free
promotions, special open house events and other
family friendly events. For details, see the Museum
Week website (www.baltimore.org/museumweek)
or stop by the Hospitality Lounge at the
Convention Center to pick up a copy of the special
Museum Week supplement in the Baltimore Sun.
Come join us! Baltimore museums and community
invite you to explore and create a glittering
testament to the power of museum experiences.
The six-word stories answer the following
question:
“What is YOUR most UNFORGETTABLE
museum experience?”
Why six words? Hemingway was once asked if
he could tell a story in just six words. He paused
and replied, “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” The Six-Word story movement has become a very
powerful tool for sharing thought-provoking and
meaningful experiences in very few words.
VISIT THE PROJECT AT THE CONFERENCE
REGISTRATION AREA. Please take part and
share your six words with us.
You can’t miss the Baltimore-style, spangled
welcome as you enter the conference center. Please
write down your most unforgettable museum
experience on a sparkly card and hang your words
with the hundreds of others that were collected
from the Baltimore community and the museum
community across the country and around the
world.

Keynote Speaker
Freeman A. Hrabowski, III
Education, Stories, Museum:
Transforming Lives
Monday, May 20, 10:15 a.m.–12 noon
Baltimore Convention Center, Ballroom
Freeman A. Hrabowski, III, has served as president of the
University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) since 1992. His
research and publications focus on science and math education,
with special emphasis on minority participation and performance.
He chaired the National Academies committee that produced
the recent report, Expanding Und presented Minority Participation:
America’s Science and Technology Talent at the Crossroads.
He also was recently named by President Obama to chair the
newly created President’s Advisory Commission on Educational
Excellence for African Americans.
A child-leader in the civil rights movement, Hrabowski was
prominently featured in Spike Lee’s 1997 documentary, Four Little
Girls, on the racially motivated 1963 bombing of Birmingham’s Sixteenth St. Baptist Church. He and
UMBC were recently featured on CBS’s 60 Minutes, attracting national attention for the campus’s
achievements involving innovation and inclusive excellence. In 2008, he was named one of
America’s Best Leaders by U.S. News & World Report, which ranked UMBC the nation’s number one
“Up and Coming” university over the past four years (2009–12).
In fall 2012, Dr. Hrabowski opened the new state-of-the-art Performing Arts and Humanities
Building to enhance UMBC’s teaching, research and public outreach, and to heighten the visibility of
the arts and humanities as major components of campus and community life. The second phase of
the building will open in fall 2014.

Big Ideas
Glasgow Museums: Building a Sense of Place That Reaps
Huge Economic, Social and Cultural Benefits
Tuesday, May 21, 9–10:15 a.m.
Baltimore Convention Center, 324–326
Presenters:
Edward J. Friel, Professor, Niagara University;
Mark O’Neill, Director of Policy & Research,
Glasgow Life
Museums have been on a perennial quest
to define their value and meaning to society.
Beyond blockbuster exhibitions chasing tourist
dollars or the latest strategies to promote
inclusion, what is it about museums ultimately
that endures for all people and all times? This
session will explore how one city—Glasgow, Scotland—intentionally sought to develop its museums in ways that have
reaped huge cultural, economic and social benefits for its people and its visitors. By making the core of its museums
accessible to all and by linking civic pride to the development of a “sense of place,” Glasgow’s museums have become
central to the life of the city, attracting inward investment, creating jobs, enhancing the quality of life, and offering
profound, inspirational lessons to all museums and their tourism and civic partners.

Significant Objects
Tuesday, May 21, 10:15–11:30 a.m.
Baltimore Convention Center, 310
Presenter:
Rob Walker, Author of Significant Objects; Elizabeth Merritt,
Founding Director, Center for the Future of Museums, American
Alliance of Museums
Join us for a conversation with Rob Walker, co-instigator of Significant
Objects—a literary and anthropological experiment that set out to prove
that the relationship among stories, objects, value and meaning is so
powerful that it can be objectively measured. Walker and his colleague,
Joshua Glenn, invited master storytellers (best-selling novelists,
television writers, comedians, up-and-coming literary talents) to invent
stories for “insignificant” objects acquired at thrift shops and yard sales.
The objects, purchased for $1.25 apiece on average, once paired with their stories,
sold on eBay for nearly $8,000 total. Join the Alliance’s Elizabeth Merritt, from the
Center for the Future of Museums, for a conversation with Walker about what this
experiment means for museums and the stories they tell.

conservation work on artifacts such as an Egyptian mummy,
selected Greek figurines and a Roman curse tablet, setting
them in the context of written and anecdotal institutional
history. This program was offered as part of a series of

In 2008, two years after the Arocena Museum in Torreon,
Mexico, opened its doors, the city was traumatized by a
drug trafficking incident that incited increased violence
by drug cartels and organized crime. Learn how the
museum’s strong mission and vision have helped address
this problem by serving as a safe haven for its community
and a forum for social understanding and inclusion.
Innovative educational programming has dramatically
increased visitation for students in pre-school through
ninth grade.

•Mongolian Museums: Challenges in the Transition from
Communism to Capitalism
Mongolia is a remote, newly emerging Asian democracy

culture. In 1990 Mongolia became a democratic and
free market economy. Learn how Mongolia’s museums
embraced these new democratic changes and ideas and
the implications for museums around the world.

from the Field

Wet in northeast Thailand led the Asian Civilisations
Museum in Singapore to discover the power of story.

become the story. This storytelling tradition offered our

and docents new perspectives on visitor engagement
and enabled us to create opportunities for audience

Glasgow Museums: Building a Sense of Place That
Reaps Huge Economic, Social and Cultural Benefits
big idea session
Baltimore Convention Center, 324–326
Museums have been on a perennial quest to define
their value and meaning to society. Beyond blockbuster
exhibitions chasing tourist dollars or the latest strategies
to promote inclusion, what is it about museums ultimately
that endures for all people and all times? This session will
explore how one city—Glasgow, Scotland—intentionally
sought to develop its museums in ways that have reaped
huge cultural, economic and social benefits for its people
and its visitors. By making the core of its museums
accessible to all and by linking civic pride to the
development of a “sense of place,” Glasgow’s museums have
become central to the life of the city, attracting inward
investment, creating jobs, and enhancing the quality of life,
and offer profound, inspirational lessons to all museums
and their tourism and civic partners.
