I have been accepted into the University of Washington Museum Studies certificate program. The program is one year . I plan on doing all of my class projects based on the concept of a Tiki Museum that for now I will call Polynesia Americana museum of poynesian pop. By the time I graduate I will be qualified to work in all aspects of a museum including; exhibits, collections, archives, grant writing,education and managemant. My goal is to have a comprehensive map for an actual Tiki Museum in one year. I hope that my enthusiasm and excitement is contageous and that you enjoy seeing the concept come togeather. Feel free with thoughts and ideas, I have a pretty good vision already going but I dont know everything. The first place to start is the mission statement. every museum has one its what guides them on their day to day operations. POLYNESIA AMERICANA MISSION STATEMENT " the mission of Polynesia Americana is to invite visitors to indulge in the experience of mid-century Polynesian culture associated with leisure and recreation. Through exhibits and collections with corresponding education the museum of Polynesian Pop will convey the importance of this form of American Folk art. Spanning eighty years of history the museum will provide memories for the old and inspire the new. With an emphasis on conservation of artifacts and sites the museum hopes to ensure the survival of tiki culture for future generations. The museum buildings and tropical gardens will host ongoing social and informative events to entertain the community and attract visitors from all parts of the world. With our full schedule of events we will generate the finances needed to maintain and expand facilities, staff, education, and collections." I will update this post as projects are assigned and I complete the homework. just think this could actually happen in the near future Maybe this is even my purpose, well for now at lest.
