💭 From museum value to sustainable revenue: How can museums develop new sources of income?
Beyond ticket sales, museums are exploring new ways to build on their expertise, heritage and relationships with audiences to develop more sustainable revenue models. How can they create new commercial opportunities while remaining true to their cultural mission?
On 18 November in Bruges, Future Museum Open Day, organised by Museum Booster and Museum Connections, will explore these opportunities through case studies and experiences from museums across Europe and beyond.
