As gathering places for conversation and exploration within our communities, museums are an important part of America’s cultural fabric. As part of its Our Shared Future: Reckoning with our Racial Past initiative, the Smithsonian Institution has partnered with the Science Museum of Minnesota to host and facilitate Museums Advancing Racial Justice, a three-day convening for professionals in the museum and cultural institution community, in April 2024.

Held at the Science Museum of Minnesota in Saint Paul, this action-oriented and collaborative event will empower participants to embark upon the initial steps of in-depth workshops centered on policy, programming, and community engagement.
