Hello Museum listers:
I jut stepped into a new position (events coordinator)in Long Island, New
York, the Long Island Children's Museum. This museum moved into a larger
facility and would like to start renting it out for different purposes. I
would like to hear from other museums who rent out their facilities and that
are similar to the scematics of our museum below:

Theater: holds 140 people
Entire musem: 40,000 sq. ft
Lobby: 2500 sq. feet
Studio: holds 35 people
Conference room: hold 20 people

My question is how much should we charge to rent out each of these items.
What factors should we take into consideration? Should there be a differnce
in charging for non-profits verses for profits? Should we have a referal
list of caterers? More specifically, we have an interest to rent out the
entire museum in May for 300 people. Any info wuld be helpful. You can reply
