Michigan Museums Association

Join the Conversation!

MMA supports, connects and strengthens the work of Michigan museums and cultural institutions. We work to engage the Michigan museum community in relevant and active dialogue.

Our members include the organizations, professionals, and volunteers of the Michigan museum community who believe that strong museums help us better understand ourselves and our world.

Every type of museum is represented and welcomed, including art, history, science, military, maritime, and youth museums, as well as aquariums, zoos, botanical gardens, arboretums, historic sites, and science and technology centers.
