I also posted this message on AAMs Museum Junction forum, so I'm sorry if you've read it twice!

For a project, I am interested in speaking with CEOs, CFOs, or Operations Managers of private 501(c)3 museums that operate in buildings owned by a municipality (county, state, city, town). Specifically, I am looking for comparator organizations for a small museum that operates in a situation where they municipality maintains the building, does not charge rent, and pays all utilities (sounds like a sweet deal, but there are some drawbacks).  This may not be your exact situation, but if you find that the specific occupancy situation of your museum causes you to explain, justify, or make allowances for, your operating budget in comparison to other museums of your size, I'd like to hear from you!

Thanks in advance!

Erin
