Beskrivning

Museum Finance: Issues, Challenges, and Successes looks at why museum finance is inherently challenging and how difficult it is to balance the need to generate adequate funding while providing accessible, meaningful mission-based services. The book’s purpose is to help museum leaders at all levels recognize and avoid certain financial minefields and realize that while there are financial hurdles in the museum world, they are solvable. The book is filled with numerous examples illustrating the range of challenges faced by museums and how institutions met these challenges along with advice on how institutions can be successful in the face of financial difficulty.

Recensioner i media

This book is a must-read not just for every museum director but for every employee. Through excellent case examples, Brian Alexander brilliantly captures the range of financial challenges facing both paid and volunteer leadership of our most treasured institutions and outlines the risks and returns of steps to tackle them. It is one of the most relatable books I have ever read when it comes to museum leadership. It should be required reading for boards and executive leaders.
