The Museum of the Cherokee People actively seeks input from the community for the update of its main exhibition. In the early phases of reimagining the exhibit, last renovated in 1998, Museum leadership will hold a listening session at the Museum, encouraging members of Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians to share their visions for a community-centered, community-voiced exhibit.

The main exhibit update is part of the Museum’s ambitious plans to prioritize self-representation in its exhibits and offerings, create an accessible space for all Cherokee people, and increase the safety of the objects in its care using museum best practices and Cherokee cultural protocols.
