Museum management. Refer to the Museum Management and Curatorship (June 2010) worldwide survey of 30 leading museums of contemporary art. Recall that each museum manager was asked to provide the performance measure used most often for internal evaluation. A summary of the results is provided in the table and saved in the MUSEUM2 file. The data were analyzed using a chi-square test for a multinomial experiment. The results are shown in the MINITAB printout (bottom of the page).
