AAM’s Museum Assessment Program (MAP)—a confidential process of self-study, peer review and implementation, supported through a cooperative agreement with the Institute of Museum and Library Services—announced 116 new participants in the program: 48 Institutional assessments, 33 in Collections Management, 28 Public Dimension, and seven in Governance. With more applicants than funds this year, 44 museums have been placed on a waiting list.
Forty-six of this year’s participants come from museums with operating budgets of less than $125,000 per year. For the first time, these museums will participate for free. Others will have a small share of the cost, ranging from $350-$750. All participants have their Surveyor travel expenses and their Surveyor honorarium covered by AAM. At the end of their assessment, participants will receive a resource packet valued at $150 from the AAM Bookstore.
See below for the complete list of this year’s participants. Learn more about the MAP program.
