ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************
I've been associated with our local small town science museum for 10
years, primarily as the host for our monthly sky shows, and any topic on
astronomy. I am a volunteer. About six months ago the museum was forced
to close because the armory building housing it did not pass earthquake
standards to allow student classes to visit any longer. Needless to say
this was an unhappy experience for the two people who staffed the
museum. One has taken on a different role in the education office. The
museum was doing quite well otherwise in supporting local schools.
I was allowed to continue with the sky shows, and have done so as long
as it makes sense. We do not use museum property for them. I do not see
the museum continuing in any way for the foreseeable future. It's
undoubtedly connected to the state's economy.
I still plan to visit this list as needed.
