We are a county agency that oversees arts and cultural policy in Fulton 
County (Atlanta), Georgia. We are initiating a planning process that requires 
us to collect information on county museums, particularly those in urban 
areas comparable to ours.

I am looking for examples of the following to begin our research (which will 
look at governance, funding mechanisms, role of the public sector in the 
museum, etc.):

1. County or city-owned and operated museums (where buildings, collections 
and staff are funded by the municipal government)

2. Museums that are county- or city-owned (buildings, collections) but 
operated by a independent nonprofit 

3. Independent nonprofit museums that operate through some partnership 
agreement with the municipal government

Your help is very much appreciated! Please respond directly to me or share 
the info through the list.
