Subject: Intersections Between Museums/Cultural Organizations & Healthcare
Hello there, I'm reaching out from Nemours Estate in Wilmington, DE to ask whether there is any interest in forming a discussion or community about the intersections of healthcare and museum/cultural organizations. As a historic site and public gardens sharing a campus and a legacy with a pediatric hospital, Nemours Estate has been initiating as series of programs specifically for the Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children.
Nemours Estate recently participated in the AAM Virtural Conference in a session titled, "Three Models for Bridging Wellness and Museums". We received a very positive response and realize that our unique situation offers a perspective and experience that may benefit other professionals in the field who also want to develop new audiences and partnerships in healthcare organizations.
Would anyone be interested in forming a Facebook group/informal round table/etc. to focus on this topic? Our experience has taught us that this work is very interdisciplinary, involving administration/management, education, curatorial/interpretation, horticulture, and more.
Thanks for your input!
