Museums
In conjunction with the first survey of the libraries
industry, the ABS also conducted its first
comprehensive survey of the museums industry
in respect of the 1996–97 financial year. The
survey covered all businesses and organisations
for which the main activity was the operation of
art museums, museums and historic houses. Also
included in the survey were the museum
activities of local government authorities, where
their operations had paid staff. Non-employing
museums were excluded from the survey, as were
businesses whose main activity was the sale of
artwork (for the latter see Commercial art
galleries below).
In total, there were 224 organisations in the
museums industry at 30 June 1997 (table 21.34),
operating from 352 locations. Museums
constituted the most common type of business in
the industry (102 organisations), and there were
32 art museum organisations, 69 local
government authorities operating museums and
21 organisations operating historic houses.
