Peer Group Compiled Resources 2021

 

New Jersey Regional Meetup Peer Group's Virtual Enrichment Outside NYC Directory

Welcome to the resource compilation from the NJ Regional Peer Group showcasing our favorite museums to follow for virtual enrichment. We're defining enrichment as something that can "enrich" the mind, body, or soul of ourselves, our staff, our volunteers, and/or our audiences.

In here you may find recommendations of museums and other informal institutions that have very interesting virtual exhibits/collections, frequent virtual programs, or perhaps they just have a very cool social media presence that would be great to follow!

Please add to this as you will- the only restriction is that we focus on institutions outside NYC, as there's already a list for that! Email resources@nycmer.org with any questions or document access needs.
