Hello Chris:

You might find this type of information in The Hills reports which have been linked to the BCMA listserv in the past, although I have not seen anything recently.

Subject: [BCMA] Museum Benchmarking?

Hello all--

Does anyone have any suggestions on where I might find some good Canadian museum attendance and financial performance data to benchmark against? I found information about the StatsCan Industry survey, but it only includes totals, not averages. Perhaps the CMA has something? The American Alliance of Museums has a useful-looking tool (http://www.aam-us.org/resources/assessment-programs/benchmarking), but I'd rather not pay for American data if Canadian info is instead available.

In particular, I'm looking for figures relating to things like average cost-per-visitor, revenue-per-visitor, attendance averages per type of heritage attraction, etc.

Thoughts, suggestions?


Chris.
