What does it mean when a museum says it is nationally accredited?

Museums in the U.S. can be accredited by the American Association of Museums (see the link below for their accreditation information). To be accredited, museums are reviewed by peer museum professionals to see if they are following the highest standards of best practices for the profession. Examples of this can mean proper care of their collections (keep objects in safe, secure, and environmentally controlled storage and display areas), a vibrant offering of educational programs and exhibitions that meet the needs of their visitors and community, and transparent management and finances as conducted by the director and their governing body (such as a board of trustees or a university). Museums do not need to be accredited by AAM to operate. And some great museums may never reach accreditation because of some of the high standards. But the purpose is to provide those museums with information and goals to achieve in order to align themselves with the professional practices as determined by their peers. The Association of Zoos and Aquariums also provides accreditation. That form of accreditation is more vital to zoos and aquariums because their collections include live creatures who should be humanly cared for according to individual species needs.
