Hi all,
I'm not quite sure how to word this, but here goes. I' wondering if any of you, or if you know others who do, lease out the operations of a museum property to another nonprofit? I'm familiar with museums leasing out the operations of their store and/or their restaurant to private companies, but I'm specifically looking for examples where operations, such as programming and events, are leased out. An example that comes to mind might be a historical society owns a historic theater and leases out the maintenance and theater/performance operations to a local community nonprofit theater group. Or a general museum also owns a historical house off-site, and leases out the maintenance work and the programming (tours, teas, etc.) to a local historic preservation group.
If this makes any sense, I'd love to hear from you.
Thank you and happy holidays.
