Started in 1962, the Association of Children’s Museums (ACM) is the world’s foremost professional member service organization for the children’s museum field. With more than 500 members in 50 states and 13 countries, we leverage the collective knowledge of children’s museums through convening, sharing, and dissemination.

ACM’s work is guided by our vision and mission, as outlined in our Strategic Plan:

Our Vision: A world that prioritizes the rights of all children to playful learning and a healthy, safe, and equitable future.

Our Mission: We champion children’s museums and together enrich the lives of children worldwide.
