It's not easy being green. Or is it?
Welcome from AAM Philadelphia's Green Subcommittee! Being "green" is a term that refers to the idea of sustainability, defined by the United Nations as "to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." Basically it's the idea of thinking about how your actions impact our environment and trying to reduce that impact as much as possible. Many of you may strive to do this in your everyday lives.
The Green Subcommittee will be blogging about how easy it is for AAM Annual Meeting attendees to make their experience in Philadelphia a green one. We also will be spotlighting green hot spots here in Philadelphia, including many of our own museums! We have recently surveyed museums in the Philadelphia area about their environmentally conscious practices. Stay tuned for the results. Don't forget to look for one of our representatives in the hospitality area of the convention center.

A BIG Welcome
Welcome to the 2009 AAM Host Committee Blog. This is our spot to show off all that Philadelphia has to offer to our colleagues from the international museum community. I invite you to post updates on our city, its great cultural institutions and restaurants, its fantastic sports teams with the best fans in the world, and anything else you’d like to share with our visitors. Did you find a new dining experience that you want to share? Blog it! Have a rare collection item that’s coming out on view during AAM? Let us know! Personally, I’d like to share the news that Please Touch has acquired the Walking Piano from the movie “Big,” and we’ll have it out in the gallery for the Opening Party on Thursday, April 30! So, start practicing “Heart & Soul” and "Chopsticks."
