Dear Members:
We have been officially closed for two months and our progress is remarkable and very exciting. Darci Fohrman Museum Designs has been hired to help shape our “new look.”
She has been working with focus groups of historians, watchstanders, Board members, staff and community members to help us tell the incredible story of the history of Monterey Bay.
The new name for the museum will be MONTEREY HISTORY AND MARITIME MUSEUM under the umbrella of the Monterey History and Art Association.
Our progress in the past eight weeks has been the following:
- All objects have been moved out of collection room and storage areas
- All artifacts are on the second floor and are being grouped by category
- Our full time Registrar… Brain Eyler from the Santa Barbara Museum has been working diligently with our two part time registrars” Marisa Miller and Cristiano Colantoni
- Our full time Education Coordinator… Micah Michael Garcia from the Fresno Historical Museum is starting April 1st
- Five grants have been submitted for collections, children’s educational programs, and historic preservation and our Interpretive Plan
- Our Collection Management policy has been approved
- We have sold the Fremont Adobe house to Parker Lasseau Bakery
- Our first lecture series begins on Tuesday March 30, 2010 (see below)
- The visitors bureau is open and the theater shows four movies each day
The lobby will remain open every day except Monday.
I urge all of you to continue to support the museum. We have a big task ahead and need your financial support to re-open in 2011 as a new, exciting vibrant museum.
Sincerely,
Pam Crowe-Weisberg
Executive Director |
