By Roger Lanse

Roselli said the museum’s staff has been working hard, calling it a ‘forced march,’ to get everything re-organized to meet accreditation requirements, reaching that goal in six months as opposed to most museums needing 18 months. The AAM is composed of 5,000 museums across the country. Roselli said, “This is the highest honor a museum could get in the United States. This is recognized as the field’s gold standard for museum excellence and signifies a museum’s quality and credibility.”
