Hellenic American Museum Associations
The following are links to Greek American museum organizations. As far as I can tell, there are four museum associations in the U.S. and only two have actual museums (Chicago and Utah). The Utah museum seems to be in the basement of a church. The Rhode Island group is in charge of developing an exhibit at Heritage Harbor Museum. Only Chicago is successful in running their own space and are planning to move into an impressive new site.
