VISION

The Vision is a reflection of the Mission in that belief is held…

·              that a museum is more than a specific name or facility, rather it is the ethos for inspiration, provocation and edification

·              that environments of historical, architectural and cultural significance should be preserved and utilized as “living classrooms”

·              that exposure to the arts and humanities is not limited to a select few but offered to all seekers of knowledge and lovers of culture

·              that our efforts toward stewardship greatly benefit ourselves but more importantly, future generations

·              that the vehicle for which we present our programming should be unbiased, relevant, informative, experiential and enjoyable

·              that all individuals acquire and synthesis information in a distinctly unique manner and we promise to facilitate that process as a comfortable experience

·              that scholarship is both didactic and dialogic in nature and should be expressed accordingly

·              that the community holds a special type of ownership and reverence for its cultural institutions; we pledge to honor such stakeholders
