St. George: St. George Art Museum Sandy: Sandy Historical Museum Springville: Springville Museum of Art With the aid of the Office of Museum Services, six museums received training in marketing and public relations, exhibit design, educational programs, and volunteerism. Participating museums were the Brigham City Museum-Gallery, Heritage Museum of Layton, Fairview Museum of History and Art, Museum of the San Rafael, Peteetneet Academy Art Gallery, and Treehouse Children’s Museum. Each museum reported that the experience of joining theory with practice has created institutional legacies. While some accomplishments may seem elementary (one museum established mailing lists and visitor records), others are quite extensive (one institution implemented a new lighting design for their entire gallery space).
Mission The Office of Museum Services will promote Utah museums and the essential role they play in our state as sources of community pride, centers of public education, and institutions that encourage economic development and tourism. The office will assist Utah museums in improving their ability to care for and manage collections, develop quality educational resources, provide access to collections for research, and identify and successfully compete for financial resources.
