Workshop

We're sorry; the "Build It and They Will Come" Workshop is full. We can take waiting list registrations, but chances are slim of more spots opening. Contact Kate Larson with any questions.

Build It and They Will Come:
What you need to know BEFORE you begin museum construction or renovation
Friday May 25 (8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.) and Saturday May 26 (8:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.) Minnesota Historical Society and Science Museum of Minnesota, St Paul, Minnesota
 
Most museum professionals take part in only one major construction or renovation project during the span of a career. Nearly all administrators, curators, collections managers and conservators are therefore neophytes in the world of architects, engineers and contractors. This workshop will demystify the process and explain the essentials so that as a more informed consumer, you will be in a better position to advocate for your collections, influence the outcome and in the end have a project that achieves your goals.
