Small Museum Association
Small Museums Working Together
About Us
The Small Museum Association is an all-volunteer organization serving small museums in the mid-Atlantic region and beyond. SMA's mission is to develop and maintain a peer network among people who work for small museums, giving them opportunities to learn, share knowledge and support one another, so that they, in turn, can better serve their institutions, communities and profession.
On this website, you will find information about SMA, including our annual conference, advocacy efforts, and resources for small museums. We welcome you to join our community as a member and to connect with us on our Facebook page.
