Charles Towne Landing State Historic Site
Charleston, South Carolina

Archaeology, Culture, History, Military, Park, Zoo

Charles Towne Landing SHS has undergone a visionary and physical redevelopment over the last 10 years. The physical redevelopment was highlighted in 2006 by the grand opening of a brand new exhibit hall and visitor center that tells the story of the first 10 years of the settlement of Charles Towne. As the first site of the original settlement of Charles Towne (Charleston), the site is an archaeological museum as well, with continuous excavations that slowly uncover clues to the first settlement's inhabitants. Animals that roamed Carolina at the time of English settlement are highlighted in the Animal Forest zoo. A new otter habitat opened to the public in April 2011. The Legare Waring House and fabulous Founders Hall, opened in 2009, are available for conference and wedding rentals. Visit www.lowcountryparkvenues.com for more information.

Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art
Charleston, South Carolina

Art, Culture, University

We originate between five and seven exhibitions per year, many of which travel nationally, and host a year-round schedule of lectures, panels, symposia, screenings, discussions, and special events. We also produce video documentaries about the artists and exhibitions that we originate. These videos provide keys to understanding the artist’s creative process and are permanently archived on our comprehensive website. We also produce award-winning publications for many of our exhibitions. These catalogues feature thoughtful commissioned essays that provide a meaningful context for the exhibitions and offer a permanent record of the artist’s project with the Halsey Institute.

Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum
Mount Pleasant, South Carolina

History, Military

The Patriots Point Development Authority is an enterprise (self supporting) state agency which has as current tenants a hotel, marina, college athletic complex, resort cottages and a golf course. The Authority staffs and operates a Naval and Maritime Museum on the complex that includes the aircraft carrier YORKTOWN, 25 aircraft, three other ships, the Congressionally mandated Medal of Honor Museum onboard YORKTOWN and a replica Vietnam riverine support base.

We are in the beginning stages of a course change for this museum, wherein we are turning away from being predominantly a memorial, simply displaying artifacts and names and citations, to becoming more of an interpretive museum, using the artifacts and material we have to tell the story for the changing visitor demographics. We have also dramatically increased our education infrastructure and are increasing our role in that effort with local school districts, in particular offering K-12 standards based programs in history and science.

Gibbes Museum of Art
Charleston, South Carolina

Art

The Gibbes Museum of Art maintains approximately 10,000 objects that directly support its mission to "collect, conserve, and interpret an American fine arts collection with a Charleston perspective." This includes objects that reflect the distinct patronage of this region. The strength of the collection lies in its 18th, 19th and early 20th century paintings, works on paper (prints, drawings, watercolors, photographs), miniature portraits, and sculpture. The objects in each medium reinforce the history of Charleston as an important colonial and antebellum city, and today as a tourist destination.

Omni Richmond Hotel

Hosted by: Small Museum Association

TELLING TOUGH STORIES: The stories that museums tell aren't always cut and dry. History museums have to confront contentious and politically divisive topics. Science and technology museums must explain complex concepts in layman's terms. What are the best ways to approach tough stories? And how can we do so clearly, concisely, and fairly

The annual SMA conference attracts more than 300 museum professionals, board members, and volunteers from a wide variety of small museums. They attend sessions on topics ranging from collections and education to staffing and board issues. We offer a large Museum Resource Hall and plenty of informal networking opportunities for you to talk with (and get ideas from!) other small museum professionals and volunteers

Registration: Find out more about registration rates and register online. Super early bird registration ends August 31st. Lock in the cheapest rates today!
