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.

News from The Museum Group
Ellen Hirzy and former Dallas Museum of Art director Bonnie Pitman are the coauthors of Ignite the Power of Art: Advancing Visitor Engagement with Museums, published this spring by the museum and Yale University Press. The book describes the DMA’s dynamic and all-encompassing renewal, sparked by eight years of research that yielded a clear and useful framework for understanding how visitors experience art.
Judy Rand is a contributor to the new book, Charlie and Kiwi: An Evolutionary Adventure, published by the New York Hall of Science. It is a companion to the traveling exhibition by the same name which introduces visitors to the basics of evolution, seen through the eyes of Charlie, a young boy who is writing a report about his favorite bird, the kiwi.
Anne Bergeron and Beth Tuttle are continuing work on their Magnetic Museums project.
