Ep. 67 — How to Build a Museum That Hums

In the fourth episode of The Museum Professional's Summer Survival Guide series, Amy pulls the whole series together, recapping everything you have built this summer and showing you why it matters far beyond your summer vacation.

Key Takeaways:

  • What you built for vacation changes how your museum runs all year. The system you built to take a summer vacation is the same thing that makes your museum steadier all year.

  • David Allen says, “Your mind is for having ideas, not holding them.” When the work lives in systems instead of in your head, you free yourself up for the big-picture thinking and vision your museum needs.

  • A burnt-out staff does not just affect the staff. Visitors feel it too. When your team has room to breathe, the people walking through your doors can feel that.
