    If your museum is looking for a low-to-no cost consultative process to help it assess and strengthen its overall operations, collections stewardship, and community engagement, look no further than the Museum Assessment Program (MAP). Take advantage of this tried-and-true program targeted at small and medium-sized museums and apply by February 1, 2018 to be part of the next MAP cohort.

    MAP offers three different assessment options that will help you align activities, mission and resources; analyze strengths, weaknesses and opportunities; meet standards, and be better positioned to do strategic planning. Join the cadre of over 5000 museums that have leveraged their MAP results to:

    • submit successful grants applications
    • improve collections care
    • build staff capacity
    • strengthen community engagement
    • educate board members
    • prepare their museum for core documents verification and accreditation

    The full package of MAP services and products is valued around $4000 but only costs your museum $0-$750!

    MAP is supported through a cooperative agreement between the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the American Alliance of Museums.
