"MAP raised the bar for us each time we participated. It crystallized our thinking about our goals, galvanized our community to support those goals, and energized our board and staff." - Lynne Goodwin, Executive Director, Treehouse Children's Museum, Ogden, UT

The Museum Assessment Program (MAP) helps museums strengthen operations, plan for the future and meet standards through self-assessment and a consultative site visit from an expert peer reviewer. Small and mid-sized museums of all types can participate. The program takes less than a year so museums can begin making changes immediately.

Since, 1981, MAP has helped over 4,300 museums achieve:

*         an increased level of professionalism among museum staff

*         improved communications between staff, board and other constituents

*         a clearer focus on the museum's mission and planning

*         greater credibility with potential funders and donors

*         national recognition of the museum's desire to achieve excellence through self-improvement
