The museum plans for special projects and programs on an ongoing basis. Many either need external funding to support them, or are much improved with added support. Projects range from single events such as a panel discussion or lecture to exhibitions support and collections work. All of these projects enhance the museum’s ability to fulfill the college and museum’s educational mission, and enrich the academic, cultural, and social life of campus and surrounding communities. If you would like to discuss projects and ideas, contact the director at museum@bates.edu. Thank you in advance for thinking of the Museum!
