Here is a comprehensive guide to financial management and stability for museums that provides context for the financial issues faced by museums and offer suggestions to mitigate them. It will help the reader understand why finances are chronic issues, provide perspective to see challenges more clearly, and offer advice to fix them.

Museum Finance: Issues, Challenges, and Successes looks at why museum finance is inherently challenging and how difficult it is to balance the need to generate adequate funding while providing accessible, meaningful mission-based services. The book’s purpose is to help museum leaders at all levels recognize and avoid certain financial minefields and realize that while there are financial hurdles in the museum world, they are solvable.
The book is filled with numerous examples illustrating the range of challenges faced by museums and how institutions met these challenges along with advice on how institutions can be successful in the face of financial difficulty.
