Abstract Details

2016, Master of Arts, Ohio State University, Arts Policy and Administration.
The trend towards establishing one’s own private collection museum has been on the rise both in the United States and globally. Through research of publicly available data, this study analyzes two case museums: The Pizzuti Collection in Columbus, Ohio, and The Rubell Family Collection and the corresponding Contemporary Arts Foundation in Miami, Florida. Qualitative data was collected from the theme areas of the profiles of their founders, their management and governance strategies, the programs that they provide to their communities, their financial health and amount of public support, and their levels of community was used to situate each institution within Moore’s strategic triangle used in nonprofit management analysis to determine the benefit of the existence of these new museums. Research indicated that the case study private museums do generate public value and private museum functionality makes the public museums’ lives easier by providing artwork loans and allowing them to focus on their collections rather than making sure that a donor is satisfied with the display of their painstakingly assembled personal collection. The addition of the private collection museum is a positive evolution within the current museum ecosystem.
