Description
Museum Master Planning: Basic Principles and Best Practices is a practical guide for directors of museums and similar cultural organizations considering changes to their operating model or facilities. Museum Master Planning presents a complete step-by-step, planning process that results in a master plan that will shape a museum’s growth and development over the next 15 to 20 years. The planning process outlined here begins with people—who is the museum serving now? Who would the museum like to be serving in the future? When a museum understands the interests and needs of the people they serve, the kinds of programs, facilities, and operational underpinnings needed come into focus. Using lessons from successful museum master plans, the planning process outlined here results in a user focused plan for the future. Detailed chapters on museum programs, staffing, and facilities provide the foundation for growth and development. The final sections of the book discuss working with other planning and design experts to fully realize the plan. Field-tested tools, worksheets, and other resources will allow readers to easily implement the planning process at their own institution.
