Lakeshore Museum Center (LMC)

Collections and preservation: the Museum, through its governing boards, staff, and volunteers, is committed to preserving and interpreting its artifact and historical collections for the benefit of current and future generations. This program service includes curatorial research and oversight, collections management including care and restoration of various natural and cultural history artifacts and historical sites, and acquisition and deacquisition activities.

Exhibitions: the Museum is dedicated to the continual and rotating display of its artifacts and historical collections and the installation of temporary exhibitions, featuring both the permanent collections and works from other sources. Exhibitions are developed to celebrate and expand the understanding of the Museum's permanent collection by reinforcing its value, building supporting scholarship, and demonstrating its links between the past and present.

Education: the educational programs developed by the Museum are a critical tool for addressing our mission goals of providing educational opportunities and engagement, building an environment for creative expression and stimulation, and contributing to community enrichment. Education programs also facilitate and encourage a strong Museum connection with the region, build membership, increase community involvement, and provide accessibility to a wide range of groups, ages, and cultures. It is through programming that the Museum is able to connect directly with its audiences, enhancing and building upon the visual experience provided in its exhibits.
