This is a well written comprehensive guide. We are new museum owners and use Collective Vision on a regular basis. It really covers everything!

I recommend it highly to anyone who works with childrens' museums, education, and recreation.

This review is from: Collective Vision: Starting and Sustaining a Children's Museum: A Comprehensive Guide for New and Existing Institutions (Paperback)

I just purchased my copy of Collective Vision from the Association of Children's Museums. It arrived today and I've read/devoured half of it. It consists of a series of essays which go into great detail on every aspect of start-up that I had thought of -- and many more! I had already prepared my business plan but have now been able to fine tune my focus with the advice from the book. As a first-timer in the nonprofit AND children's museum arena, the book has prepared me for the unique challenges that I am bound to face and methods of overcoming them. It's pricey at $95 since I don't have a membership with the ACM (only $65 for members) but well worth it.
