DAY TWO: Plenary Sessions
The Road to Resilience
Helping your museum to prosper.
Launched in June 2015, the AIM ‘Hallmarks of Prospering Museums’ is a framework which helps identify what makes successful heritage organisations prosper and thrive. AIM hopes that the eight Hallmarks will be used by museums to start a “creative conversation which will help museums in developing their work.”
