I doubt this video does very well, but it was a labor of love.

I also know I'm preaching to the choir with y'all. :)

Thank you for your continued support!

The Future of Museums

Mr. Beat travels to the Stuhr Museum in Grand Island, Nebraska to get a behind-the-scenes look at how a history museum operates. While there, he learns about a troubling trend.

If you ever get a chance to visit this place, I highly recommend it. Or if you can't visit here, visit a museum in your hometown. Yep, your hometown probably has a museum that you didn't know about. Thanks for watching. #museum #history #ushistory

As a Museum professional, thank you so much. You’re highlighting what makes this field so special. You don’t go into it to get rich that’s for sure 😂 but to tell the story of a community and/or who we are? Absolutely priceless.

I just moved to the Columbus Ohio area. Thanks for the video Matt! I enjoy your videos on your visits to museums around the country! Actually my brother Bill was one of the creators of the Central Ohio Fire Museum. https://www.centralohiofiremuseum.com/ He restores antique fire engines so it makes sense.

I loved this video and I love museums. But in recent years I've kind of forgotten to visit more of them. Your video is the kick in the pants I need to try and plan more Museum visits in the future!

You rock, Mr Beat! I’ve been to Grand Island, but obviously missed the coolest part! Thanks for the call to action to appreciate my local museums—so much to treasure!

I made a youtube comment and in case you don't check those... I was wondering if you've been to the City Museum in St Louis? It's a 10 story playground for kids and adults alike (including a few bars). It's wild!

Matt Beat

Surprisingly, no! We almost went back in 2018, but ran out of time. I heard it's amazing.

If you ever come in the future, this is an open invitation to meet up (since I get their yearly membership cards).

Really is fascinating. You basically nailed it I think. Wish I could visit and help tons of museums.
