museum, a quick history of museums, and 10 steps to starting a
museum * Operational Basics, such as branding, marketing, strategic

visitors, programming, and exhibit evaluation. Features that even
the most experienced museum professionals will find useful include
a community outreach checklist, a fundraising checklist, a

worksheets, and a glossary of essential museum-related terms. In
