The Museum Group
TMG, a consortium of senior museum consultants, offers museums and cultural institutions distinct advantages. As independent consultants, we help museums identify innovative solutions and strategies for every part of their operations. As a group of like-minded colleagues, we serve our clients from a base of shared knowledge, experience, and support.
We're also committed to thinking, conversation, and debate about the complex issues that affect museums today. In our individual consulting practices, at annual gatherings of national and regional museum associations, and in the wider museum field we promote an open, lively exchange of ideas.
