Only 775 museums in the country were recognized this year by the American Association of Museums and the Krasl Art Center in St. Joseph is one of them.

The Herad-Palladium reports this is the third time since the Krasl opened its doors at 707 Lake Boulevard some 30 years ago that the museum has been so recognized.

“It gives us a little gold star that can really help secure grants at a national level, especially government grants,” Krasl Executive Director Donna Metz says in the story.

Excerpt:

To earn accreditation a museum must conduct at least a year of self-study and undergo site visits by a team of peer reviewers who examine every aspect of its mission, including public trust, organization and planning, educational programs, its permanent collections, and financial stability.

AAM’s Accreditation Commission, an independent body of museum professionals, then considers the self-study and visiting committee report and conducts additional interviews to determine whether a museum should receive accreditation.
