Abstract
A lively discussion on special issues/concerns for museums that have large Spanish Speaking populations in the United States. The panel will begin by presenting information on what some institutions are doing to open their museums to new populations in new ways. As museums change there is an emphasis on how Latinos have access and influence in creating cultural and creative spaces. Topics for discussion include: changing demographics in the United States and the Latino population; Latinos and Latin America in museums; what is the role of today’s museums in diversifying its outreach strategies to diverse communities; and should museum’s programs be reflective of their communities.
