The High Museum of Art and the Louvre recently created a multiyear collaboration to bring works by Raphael, Rubens, Rembrandt, Vel á zquez and Watteau to the High's new expansion. The two museums will cultivate a broader relationship for exchanges of students, curators, educators, marketers and fund-raisers. The High is paying the Louvre an ‘ amount exceeding $10 million ’ but expects to save millions on organizational costs for future exhibitions which have cost between $2.5 and $4 million each. · The high profile 1999 merger between MoMA and P.S.1 allowed MoMA to engage more directly with contemporary art and the art community in New York, while giving P.S. 1 institutional security. This merger allowed each of these partners to keep their own identity yet benefit collectively. The Cincinnati Museum of Natural History and the Cincinnati Historical Society became the Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal in 1994. A second successful merger followed in 1997 when the Cincinnati Children ’ s Museum came on board.

Indianapolis Children’s Museum – dome theater no longer relevant – exhibit “dinosphere” with paleontologists working in lab in play environment – partner with university
Ann Arbor – teaching and visible – focusssed exhibitions for course work Conservation labs and storage – helps people understand the work of what you’re doing (eg comparing and contrasting 100 kinds of toads) even if it is not “exhibit worthy”
