The staff at the Office of Historic Alexandria want to know how they can better support and engage residents in this year and beyond.
To learn more, Alexandria's museums are participating in a national survey of museum-goers sponsored by the American Alliance of Museums. This survey will provide data not only from Alexandria museum visitors, but also nationwide results for context.
Alexandria has eight historic museums that are run by the city — Alexandria Archaeology, Alexandria Black History, the Apothecary Museum, Gadsby’s Tavern Museum, Fort Ward Museum, the Alexandria History Museum at The Lyceum, Friendship Firehouse Museum, and the Freedom House Museum.
"Our guests come to us with different needs and values, and we want to understand them so we can best serve you," according to museum staff. "From how museums (like ours!) can support your wellbeing in these tumultuous times to how we address challenges our society is facing, we need to hear your thoughts."
Those who complete the survey will be entered to win one of ten $100 Visa gift cards.
