The Museums Association of the Caribbean (MAC) was formed in 1987 to allow museums, and related organizations and societies in the Caribbean to share experiences and skills. Membership is open to any organization or individual who has an interest in preserving the heritage of the Caribbean.

Our primary objectives are:

To develop a common policy to the role of museums and duties of curatorial staff with common practices on exhibitions, conservation, preservation, legislation and regulations for the protection of national patrimony.
To act as an advisory board to government and public and private institution on matters pertaining to museum development.
To serve as a forum for exchange of information and ideas on a regional basis.
To develop links with international and other regional and national museum-related organizations and agencies.

In 2009 MAC introduced a newsletter to keep you up-to-date with the latest museum news in the Caribbean. The February 2010 issue is now online. To access current and past issues, please click here: Newsletter
