About inspiring, connecting, teaching, learning. We are creative. We push the boundaries.
WE ARE ONE TEAM.
We each bring unique experiences and skills to the Museum and together accomplish

among us matter.
WE WORK HARD. WE PLAY HARD.
We embrace and share the spirit of the West. We strive for excellence in our work and
celebrate our successes. We take time to hike, kayak, ski, knit and play ping-pong.
WE COMMUNICATE OPENLY AND HONESTLY WITH ONE ANOTHER.
We share our concerns and work through our issues together, focusing on what’s
best for the Museum. We solve problems.
WE HAVE AN INFORMAL WORK ENVIRONMENT.
We bring our dogs to work. We do yoga. We lunch together and laugh together.
We celebrate our differences. We realize our workplace is a treasure.
WE ARE THE HIGH DESERT MUSEUM
