Mid-Atlantic Association of Museums - MAAM

We have all seen how Twitter has changed during the past year. MAAM cannot ethically continue to operate here as things stand today. You can still find us on: Instagram/Threads: @midatlanticmuseums Bluesky: @midatlanticmuseums.bsky.social Facebook: facebook.com/midatlanticmus…

We will continue to see how Twitter evolves and may be back if things improve. But for now, remaining in this space is inconsistent with our values of inclusivity and treating all people with respect. Follow us on our other channels and stay in touch! @AAMers @NEMAnet @MuseumCN
