The current Small Museum Administrators Committee definition of a small
museum is one with a budget of $350,000 or less. I have just started the
ball rolling with AAM to think about raising that to $500,000 (which is the
number the Publications Competition currently uses). We'll have to take a
look at the number of museums with budgets between $350,000 and $500,000 and
see where they would best fit. If members of the list have any thoughts on
the matter I'd be interested in hearing from them OFF LIST [that means you
have to cut and paste to my address].
My own definition certainly involves the multiple hat scenario. As I once
explained to my boyfriend when he asked the difference between curator and
director (I originally had both titles), a curator works with the
collections, does research, publishes and creates exhibits, and a director
crawls around the basement looking for mouse droppings with the pest control
company. In my case she also shovels snow and changes light bulbs. :)
