2020 BY THE NUMBERS: 41 Virtual Programs

We are grateful to you, our community, for the continued show of support that has made it possible for the BMI to make it through the public health crisis.

Public programs are essential to the BMI’s educational mission and attract thousands of visitors each year.

But like many other museums, COVID-19 forced us to reimagine how we connect with audiences. The BMI responded to this unprecedented challenge by developing dozens of virtual programs in 2020. Whether enjoying a live-streamed lecture by senior educator Jack Burkert, tagging along on a virtual road trip to a Pennsylvania steel mill, or pondering contemporary issues raised by panelists in our “Workplace Matters” series, public program participants were able to take advantage of all the BMI has to offer.

And the best part was they could do so from the comfort and safety of home!
