- Are you a museum going through a significant transition?
- Are you a Board member unsure of potential costs?
The owner’s representative serves the Board of Directors, advising on museum site selection, building design, exhibition design, visitor experience, contracts, and fundraising and always serving the Board of Directors to ensure that the museum’s best interests are carried out.
Costs are dependent on the Scope of Work; typically, fees are in the range 1% to 2% of capital costs.
