Helping To Increase Visitorship and Open New Revenue Streams
More than ever, museums are facing financial challenges in today's unstable economy. Rising costs, sagging visitorship, dwindling funding.

Together with our Laing Research Services subsidiary, we also offer wide-reaching analysis on topics affecting the museum community throughout the country. For example, in conjunction with the American Association of Museums, Museum Publishers Association and the University of Chicago, we conducted research to correlate the attendance at museums with the sale of related books and catalogs. The only work of its kind, the study was distributed through three editions by the AAM and is now in the preliminary stages of a new edition.
For articles, news and commentary covering a broad range of topics, many of which are pertinent to museum operations, please see our online publication, PERSPECTIVE™.
