Hi Leonard - a MAP Survey is a Museum Assessment Program survey. Sponsored
by the American Association of Museums (AAM), the MAP programs (and there
are several) help museums prepare for accreditation as well as ensuring best
practices. They are Peer Reviews, and as a reviewer I've found them quite
helpful to the institutions. For more information check out
http://www.aam-us.org/programs.cfm?menu_type=programs and follow the link
for the MAP program.
Hope this helps.

Sorry, but what is a "MAP survey"? It makes for difficult reading when
you use unexplained acronyms of this kind; perhaps this is familiar to
your local audience in the USA, but acronym finder
<http://www.acronymfinder.com/af-query.asp?p=dict&String=exact&Acronym=MAP>
returns 110 meanings for "MAP".
I can guess, and it is not crucial to the point you are making, but it
does cause some niggling frustration not to know what you are talking
about!
