To develop a fuller understanding of digital readiness and innovation maturity in the museum sector, Knight Foundation commissioned HG&Co, a leading cultural sector strategy and research firm, to conduct a field survey. This survey was deployed in partnership with the American Alliance of Museums and captures anonymous data from 480 museums of all sizes across all 50 states. This data includes art museums (30%), historic institutions and sites (38%), science museums (11%) and others. A total of 65% of the institutions who responded with size information were defined as small museums, meaning they have annual budgets of $5 million or less, or have fewer than 49 employees. <\/p>\n<\/div>

As these data were collected prior to the spread of COVID-19, findings shine a light on the status of digital innovation in the field prior to the crisis, but also identify both challenges and opportunities that might exist in building capacity for resiliency as the cultural landscape changes. <\/p>\n<\/div>
