I'm working on a project for the Tampa Museum of Art and am seeking info/research/resources on the economic impact of major exhibitions on a museum's operational costs (revenues, admissions, restaurant, museum store, etc). Additionally, info on how a major exhibition affects other organizations is also valuable. I have found quite a bit of information about the economic impact of the arts, but am looking for info specific to museums. Also, what resources might be available to help us compare operating costs of facilities with approximately 125,000 square feet of exhibition space? I understand the Memphis Museum may have some economic impact info...does anyone know who I might contact there? Are there other resources recommended? I appreciate your help. Thank you.
