2009 has been the most exciting and most productive year in our museum’s short history. We are now looking towards 2010. Next year already promises many opportunities for us. In the coming weeks, we will be charting our museum’s course for 2010. We will be prioritizing opportunities and goals and planning how we want to realize such opportunities and accomplish our goals.
