These Museums Helped Welcome Immigrants and Refugees to their Community, and Yours Can Too!

“Welcoming America’s annual Welcoming Week enlists organizations around the country to welcome new immigrants and refugees into their new communities. This year, AAM is a national partner of Welcoming Week and is calling on museums to get involved on September 10 to 19. Use your spaces and resources to unite your community and show that not only are we stronger together, but the future depends on our unity!

 

For inspiration, look no further than the museums below, which are all past or future Welcoming Week participants. From hosting multicultural entertainments to leading a Twitter chat on inclusivity, they’ve found creative ways to do what museums do best in service of this important cause.
