Why Museums?

Museums are economic engines 

that contribute $5 billion to the U.S. economy each year, $12 billion of which as tax revenue for state & local governments.


American Alliance of Museums & Oxford Economics “Museums as Economic Engines”, 2018.  

Museums are community anchors      

upon which many important metrics depend, such as those in Bloomberg’s America’s Best Cities & Money’s annual “Best Places to Live” survey.

Museums serve the whole public             

on average, more Americans visit museums than attend professional sporting events. 




Population sampling conducted by Wilkening Consulting, 2018. 

Museums are trusted

more than any other American institution, ranking second only to friends & family

Museums safeguard our heritage 

preserving more than one billion objects of cultural heritage & scientific endeavor.
