Last week, the Keast & Hood team traveled to Baltimore, MD for the Building Museums Symposium, joining industry peers from across the country to explore the challenges and opportunities shaping museum design today.
From thoughtful discussions around accessibility in museum spaces, to the complexities of renovating historic cultural institutions, to the engineering behind iconic new museum construction, the sessions offered valuable insight into how these spaces continue to evolve to better serve communities and visitors.
We also enjoyed reconnecting with colleagues, meeting new industry partners, and spending time exploring the city of Baltimore.
And while the conversations inside the conference were dynamic, the weather outside may have been even more so - tornado warnings followed by a snowstorm within 24 hours made for a memorable trip.
We’re excited to continue these conversations when the symposium heads west to Los Angeles for MAAM 2027!
