Museum buildings are as diverse as the collections and programs they house.
They range from a natural history museum in a 100 year-old building to an art center in a downtown storefront to a history museum aboard a former battleship. Each of these buildings was designed or preserved in a way that would help the museum meet its mission. Because the collections and programs that support its mission are unique, each museum has a different set of needs that its building must meet. Therefore, there is not a standard blueprint or set of specifications for museum buildings. This report details an institution's physical specifications and staff practices in a standard form to expedite the exchange of information critical to lenders and insurers.
