Columbia River Maritime Musem, Astoria |
The Institute of Museum and Library Services completed in 2008 the first major review of public finance for the museum sector. It explores public support from federal, state, and local government sources, focusing particular attention on levels of financial support and types of delivery mechanisms.
This is one of the few studies to examine U.S. museums as a sector separate from other cultural institutions. The museum sector includes aquariums, arboretums, botanical gardens, art museums, children’s museums, general museums, historic houses and history museums, nature centers, natural history and anthropology museums, planetariums, science and technology centers, specialized museums, and zoos.
The following is a summary of statistics about federal funding for museums in Oregon. For comparison purposes, Oregon had the 28th largest state population in 2000.
