Survey of museums' fiscal health paints a stable picture - The Boston Globe

Survey of museums' fiscal health paints a stable picture - The Boston Globe: "Stability' was the term of choice last year for North American art museums, as they maintained or built on advances made over the prior two years, according to a survey.

The New York-based Association of Art Museum Directors said Wednesday that 73 percent of the 129 museums responding to its survey reported steady or increased attendance in 2005. That compared with 70 percent seeing such results in 2004.

The survey also found that 84 percent of respondents said their total revenue had increased or was the same as in the previous year, up from 79 percent in 2004."
