The Office of Historic Alexandria wants your help with a national study on how museums impact society. It’s one of 40 institutions chosen for the Museum Social Impact in Practice (MSIIP) study, and it needs at least 150 people to visit three museums and share their thoughts.
This study, backed by the American Alliance of Museums and funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, runs until July. If you participate and complete the survey, you’ll get a special gift, an invite to hear about the results in November and free membership to the ALXHistoryLovers Society.
You can visit any of these museums for the study: Alexandria Archaeology Museum, Alexandria Black History Museum, Alexandria History Museum at The Lyceum, Fort Ward Museum and Historic Site, Freedom House Museum, Friendship Firehouse Museum, Gadsby’s Tavern Museum, and Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary Museum.
Ready to join? Sign up on the City of Alexandria’s website. Remember, it’s one person per household, but you can bring up to five others with you.
If you need any accommodations due to a disability, contact Nicole Quinn from Historic Alexandria at [email protected] or 703-746-4554. They also offer free interpretation and translation services if you prefer to communicate in another language.
