Hamilton Civic Museum Strategy
Hamilton’s Civic Museum Strategy is a transformative plan that guides the work of the Hamilton’s Civic Museums from 2022 to 2030. Building on past success in operating stand-alone museums, it dramatically broadens their scope of engagement by articulating a new vision grounded in a whole city approach to heritage.
Envisioning an expanded scope of programming and engagement beyond the existing sites and museums, it empowers residents and community members as collaborators and co-creators in bringing untold stories to light.
Strategic Priorities
The strategy is a made-in-Hamilton approach to heritage presentation and community engagement that is informed by best practices from leading organizations and thought leaders in the museum sector. Its strategic priorities are:
- Embrace the City
- Rethink Collecting
- Embed the Shift to Digital
- Collaborate and Co-Create
- Develop the Workforce
- Develop Additional Revenue Streams
