What do you need to ask yourself, before you even start?\n \nWhat does your community want from your new museum, and how can you find out? What happens when you have funding for 10 staff, but you design a museum that will take 25 staff to operate? What’s more important, the cost of creating the museum, or the later costs of operating it? What’s “noblesse oblige”? What’s a “civic entrepreneur”?\nCarolynne Harris (Museum Planner, Carolynne Harris Consulting) joins host Jonathan Alger (Managing Partner, C&G Partners) to discuss “The Questions You Have to Ask Before the Project”.\nAlong the way: team sports, a right turn at Albuquerque, and training to do five things at once.\n \nTalking Points:\n \n1. A master plan comes before design, but what comes before a master plan?\n2. Have you got your stakeholders aligned?\n3. Do you know what your community wants?\n4. Who are your financial supporters — both immediate and ongoing?\n5. How many staff can you support, and how will they get paid?\n6. Should there even be a museum?\n\nHow to Listen:\n \nApple Podcasts\nhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/making-the-museum/id1674901311\nSpotify\nhttps://open.spotify.com/show/6oP4QJR7yxv7Rs7VqIpI1G\nEverywhere\nhttps://makingthemuseum.transistor.fm/\nGuest Bio:\n \nCarolynne Harris, Founder and Principal of Carolynne Harris Consulting, has over 30 years of experience in the museum field, including over 10 years of senior-level experience at the Smithsonian Institution and Fernbank Museum of Natural History.
