It provides the hard data that, beyond the obvious cultural impact, museums are also absolutely essential to the national economy.
Museums:
- generate GDP
- create jobs
- contribute taxes

We’ve made a quick infographic highlighting the key points from AAM’s Museums as Economic Engines: A National Study.
