           SUBJECT  :    California Museum Month

           SOURCE  :     Author


           DIGEST  :    This resolution proclaims May 2014 as California  
          Museum Month and recognizes the essential role that museums have  
          in the State of California as educational institutions.

           ANALYSIS  :    This resolution makes the following legislative  
          findings: 

          1.California is home to more than 1,400 museums that represent a  
            multitude of learning experiences, including art museums,  
            zoos, aquaria, historical societies, science centers,  
            botanical gardens, children's museums, and cultural centers  
            throughout the state and serve millions of visitors each year.

          2.Two-thirds of California museums partner with schools and  
            school districts to provide valuable and relevant educational  
            programs that serve their local students and enhance  
            instruction; and these museums help the state meet its  
            obligations in the field of education by serving over two  
            million schoolchildren and over one million college and  
                                                                CONTINUED





                                                                    ACR 115
                                                                     Page

            university students per year through field trips and outreach  
            programs.

          3.California museums foster dialogue, inspire utilization of  
            critical thinking skills, and support exploration to advance  
            knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of history,  
            science, the arts, and the natural world; and they provide a  
            spark that inspires future generations of scientists, artists,  
            politicians, historians, and entrepreneurs.

          4.The California Association of Museums has served to bring  
            important recognition of this commemorative month and invites  
            all museums, museum service organizations, California  
            residents, and local governments to use this milestone to  
            recognize and celebrate the essential role California museums  
            play as educational institutions as they serve communities,  
            the nation, and the world.

          This resolution proclaims May 2014 as California Museum Month  
          and recognizes the essential role that museums have in the State  
          of California as educational institutions.
