Museum Accreditation in America
Museum Accreditation in the United States is a lengthy process whereby a museum is recognized as adhering to best standards in the field by the American Alliance of Museums in terms of budget, preservation, and conservation, among other criteria. Fewer than 10% of American museums are so accredited.[1] One reason for this is that, while institutions such as colleges and universities are overseen by the Department of Education, there is no government body, such as a Department of Art, Culture, and Technology, that would oversee museums and their accreditation.[2]
