Directors of Smaller Museums (DSM)
Leading a small museum or gallery has a unique set of challenges. Many directors are isolated, without peers or support in the community. While we strive for professional standards we are always under-resourced and find ourselves working in every area of the museum.
This network is designed to connect leaders of smaller museums to discuss issues pertinent to the particular challenges of their work.
