FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE  BEEN INVOLVED IN A MUSEUM BUILDING PROJECT: 
All museum professionals who  have been or will be involved in a
building project (e.g., addition,  renovation, new building) between
2000 and 2015 are encouraged to  participate in this survey. In
addition to basic information, the survey  includes questions about
planning, developing the design, finances,  fundraising,
communications, closings/openings, staffing and oversight,  and
evaluation.  The Museum Building Programs survey is being used  to
gather data for the Mid-Atlantic Association of Museum's  annual
"Building Museums" symposium.  Please pass this message along  to your
colleagues involved in museum construction  projects.

DOWNLOAD THE QUESTIONS IN ADVANCE: This survey will take  approximately
30 minutes to complete. We recommend that you download the  complete
list of questions before completing the survey. Once you begin  the
survey, you cannot save your answers and return at a later  date.
