The Wisconsin Veterans Museum (WVM) has again achieved accreditation by the American Alliance of Museums, the highest national recognition afforded to the nation’s museums. This achievement reflects the excellence and professionalism of the entire WVM staff as they preserve and educate the public on Wisconsin’s veteran history.
“This honor speaks volumes about the staff and leadership of the Wisconsin Veterans Museum,” said WDVA Secretary James Bond. “Not that we needed it, but it is further proof that WVM is one of the finest museums in our state and an example for the nation. And it is one more reason to be excited for the future of this cherished institution.”
Re-accreditation is the latest in a series of positive steps in WDVA’s plans to construct a new state-of-the art facility on the Capitol Square. Earlier this year the State Legislature gave the project a vote of confidence when they included funds to purchase the current building, which can only display 3 percent of the collection to the public. That was followed by unanimous approval of expending those funds by the Wisconsin State Building Commission.
