Abstract The Museums Connect program, funded by the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and administered by the American Alliance of Museums, is a relatively new effort to connect international museums; the grant is set apart by its objective to sponsor projects that foster cross-cultural professional development and civic engagement in global communities. The following roundtable includes perspectives on the Museums Connect project Identities: Understanding Islam in a Cross-Cultural Context, undertaken by the Museum of History and Holocaust Education, Kennesaw State University (Georgia), and the Ben M'sik Community Museum, Université Hassan II Mohammedia, Ben M'sik (Casablanca, Morocco).
