"The MAP sparked a renewed vigor in our staff and enlightened us. The best way to think outside of the box is to ask those outside of the box. This held true for us and we appreciate all the recommendations made via the MAP." -Robert Cravalho, Honolulu Police Department Museum of Law Enforcement The Museum Assessment Program (MAP) is an IMLS-funded program available to small and mid-sized museums of all types. During MAP your museum conducts a self-study, consults with a museum professional who will provide a customized site visit and report and gains the tools to become a stronger institution. * The MAP process is customized to your museum. * The application is easy to complete and 98% of museums that apply get accepted. * Choose one of three assessment types: Organizational, Collections Stewardship or Community Engagement.
