Museum security staff question

Fri, 11 Sep 2026 18:56:00 GMT

<div class="WordSection1"> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I’m interested in learning more about how different museums approach hiring and training security officers, especially at university museums. My museum currently contracts with an outside security company, but I’ve seen other models where museums have transitioned to gallery attendants/ambassadors, who focus both on protecting the collection and engaging with visitors. I’m also looking for examples of successful approaches for making visitors feel less policed by security in gallery spaces, even if it’s just as simple as transitioning to less formal uniforms or instituting training sessions. If you have any examples from your institutions, I’d be grateful to hear your perspectives. Please feel free to contact me directly at <a href="mailto:amrizzo@upenn.edu">amrizzo@upenn.edu</a>.

Cultural Competency online course begins Oct 5 on Museum Study

Thu, 10 Sep 2026 14:02:00 GMT

<div class="default-style" style=""> <div class="default-style" style=""> Creating organizations that are culturally competent is not an altruistic wish, but rather a business strategy to ensure our workforce reflects, represents, and is responsive to the communities with whom we collaborate and serve and perhaps more critically, how we shape our programs, exhibits, and collections. While cultural competency has long been incorporated into the medical disciplines and the fields of psychology and social work they have been slow to enter the cultural heritage professions. <br> Join Helen Wong Smith for this 4 week online course which provides the skills to employ cultural competency and the stages individuals and organizations can implement to improve relations with internal and external communities. <br> For more information about the course visit our website: <a href="https://www.museumstudy.com/cultural-competency">https://www.museumstudy.com/cultural-competency</a> </div> <div class="default-style" style="">Brad Bredehoft</div> <div class="default-style" style="">Museum Study</div> </div>  <br> <br> <hr> <p><b>Visit the <a href="http://www.museum-ed.org" target="_blank">Museum-Ed</a> Web site for programs, archives, sample documents and more.</b></p> <p>Follow us on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/MuseumEd" target="_blank">@museumed</a>, on <a href="http://linkd.in/ZPBsqu" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a> and on <a href="http://on.fb.me/ZPBRta" target="_blank">Facebook</a></p> <p>To reply to this message, address your reply to <a href="mailto:talk@museum-ed.org"> talk@museum-ed.org</a> To send a new message to the list, address it to <a href="mailto:talk@museum-ed.org"> talk@museum-ed.org</a> To access and search the discussion list archives http://museum-ed.org/discussionlist/searchable-archives/ To unsubscribe from: talk at museum-ed.org, just follow this link: </p>
