From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Museum Planning is the creation of documents to describe a new museum’s vision, the visitor experience and an organizational plan for a new institution, or one undergoing a major expansion or change in focus.

- A new or updated mission and vision
- Collections objectives of the new institution
- Educational objectives of the new institution
- Experience objectives of the new institution
- Potential visitor and other audience and user groups
- Interpretive Plan
- Exhibition storylines
- Visitor flow diagrams
- Thematic treatments
- Preliminary exhibition layout
- Style Boards
- Exhibition Renderings
- Space Needs Analysis
- Site selection
- Architectural Concepts
- Preliminary staffing plan
- Preliminary project schedule
- Preliminary project budget
Plans are created by a museum planning team, that includes; museum staff and volunteers, members of the board of directors, community members, and representatives of city and state planning agencies working together with a museum planner, architects, exhibit designers, economists, and other specialist consultants
The objective of a Museum Plan is to create a clear and concise “road map” for the creation of new institution and a sustainable long term museum vision.
