The Year in Museums: Controversy, Repatriation and More Once, art museums felt like a place to get away from all the chaos and confusion of everyday life—a place to enjoy beauty and consider eternal questions of life in a curated, contemplative and quiet environment What is happening these days? #audiencedevelopment #diversity #financialexcellence https://lnkd.in/dMxvZxQ7

Museums are generally pretty risk averse institutions. Even the smallest changes can be slow and stressful for many organizations. As many of you know, The Rubin Museum is rethinking what a museum could and should be. Check out this op-ed from The Rubin's Executive Director Jorrit Britschgi for more about their future plans. What other museums are disrupting the norm and experimenting with new strategies and models? https://lnkd.in/ePcuvcFs
"... Letting go of a museum building has freed the organisation to think and act locally, nationally and globally all at once. It is a bold step for a small organisation, and not without risks, but the Rubin is embracing non-attachment and impermanence." - OpEd by the Rubin Museum of Art's Executive Director Jorrit Britschgi. Oct 6 is your last chance to see the Rubin in its NYC 17th Street manifestation! https://lnkd.in/e9Juxh9q #Museums #MuseumInnovation #RubinMuseum #HimalayanArt

Can endorse this op-ed recommendation from the Rubin. This is a great example of what it looks like to decide on and implement a bold new strategy--without hedging or watering it down.

Art is as old as human history, but art museums as we know them are relatively modern institutions that have always adapted to reflect their times. No longer identifying themselves as stewards of artwork for people who can afford to collect it, many museums now embrace their nonprofit status to serve and engage the public at large. But how is such transformation reflected in museum operations, and how can museums leverage innovation to support their evolving missions?

Museum visitation data has been a hot topic since Covid. How far it dipped, how many institutions big and small went under, and when will we return to pre-pandemic levels? This is one of the most recent reports I've seen and presents the first actually-kind-of-nearly-bright outlooks. With summer coming things could bump up even more :) Granted the survey looks at only the "top" 100 museums, but the outlook bodes well for smaller institutions. #museums #visitation #museumattendance https://lnkd.in/g8dZWMRg

An interesting article and useful to have any data on how culture benefits well-being since it’s difficult to quantify. Museums seem to have to be everything to everyone with less and less budget. I think sponsorship is a h great way to help with this and asking business to support smaller venues near them to give back to their communities is a great way to do this. Obviously avoiding the usual controversies of ethics and being careful with the small print on control.
Such an interesting area of museum practice. The big question is how can museums get the money to do this work when so many are struggling to fund basic services. Looking at the talks from our upcoming Museums, Health & Wellbeing Summit one route is to ask exhibition sponsors to also fund related wellness initiatives. Could this make sponsorship more attractive? #museum #museums #museumnext

An architecture or space that holds many precious items, historic objects, paintings, a drawing room for a few, and for some maybe a hot or iced cuppa and browsing at the cool cafe or bookstore all it is. Yes, it is worthwhile visiting a museum, even a gallery or a mini exhibition in your office area or school. It can do wonders, that is also if you know how to see, are curious enough, and have an open mind and heart for an experience with an understanding of the specific purpose each of these exhibitions hold. Not just a box of precious items, but history and culture, and thus what you will find in there varies, how it is presented to you also comes with levels of dynamism. It is an educational experience first-hand if seen with the right lenses, and with great depth at length, you could leave feeling enlightened or left pondering. Either is great. It is the narrative, the story that unravels for me, the individual. So go in there and see, feel captivated and drawn or at least be a quiet observer.
Always worth sharing, "In today’s uncertain times, museums can act as an anchor in the storm." #museum #museums #museumnext

The importance of public transparency for arts orgs: Most U.S. art museums have shifted their stated missions to emphasize public service and engagement over preserving objects, yet few institutions openly offer basic information on how they are run, according to a new study. According to the study, 60% of the 200 U.S. art museums studied say their mission is to serve the public, while another 30% say their mission is a balance between public service and their collection. The remaining 11% continue to focus on objects. Yet only 17% of these institutions make two important disclosures: visitation numbers and audited financial statements; 43% share neither of those figures. Of those that do provide something, 43% share the number of visitors to their institutions, while 37% share financial statements.
