Engaging the Entire Community: A New Role for Permanent Collections

Engaging the Entire Community: A New Role for Permanent Collections

Summary:

Museums may be able to increase their audiences if they respond to their communities through new activities and innovative programs. This Wallace-commissioned report, the second in a three-part series, profiles four museums that augmented their permanent collections with pioneering outreach efforts — such as teen councils, local business partnerships and public art projects — to attract new regular visitors. Such strategies can help museums increase satisfaction among their staff and the public, enhance their offerings and cultivate donor support.
