Laura Millin

Laura Millin became director of the Missoula Art Museum in 1990, after a decade of working in the arts in Seattle where she helped to create three contemporary art institutions and co-owned a contemporary art bookstore. Her achievements at MAM over 30 years include twice steering the institution through reaccreditation by the American Alliance of Museums, completing a $5.3 million renovation and expansion in 2006, and shepherding the Missoula Art Park in 2015 in partnership with the City of Missoula. Under Laura’s leadership, the MAM’s progressive exhibitions and innovative educational programming have established the institution as a leading contemporary museum. Laura served on the board of directors of the Missoula Demonstration Project (Life’s End Institute) in Missoula from 1996 – 2003.

Laura has a passion for life, family and friends and feels strongly about the importance of providing community members a quality experience at life’s end.
