Each year, the American Alliance of Museum’s Center for the Future of Museums (CFM) engages in research that helps museums explore the cultural, political, and economic challenges facing society and devise strategies to shape a better tomorrow. Each year the CFM releases its TrendsWatch report which captures the CFM’s annual findings with the aim of helping institutions forecast and plan for what’s ahead. This perspective is an unparalleled resource for students and recent graduates with an interest in the field.
