Philbrook Museum

The Philbrook Museum will research, develop, and implement a three-year initiative to build institutional capacity around evaluation and integrate evaluation into sustained institutional planning and processes in order to better serve audiences. Working with a consulting team of evaluation experts, the museum will engage an interdepartmental and multilevel team of 16 staff members to receive training in evaluation through workshops, coaching, and individualized assistance; practice evaluation on exhibitions, interpretive projects and programs taking place in real time; and build sustaining processes and practices around evaluation. Team members will develop a shared knowledge of and skills in evaluation; conduct evaluation iteratively within existing institutional processes; and build a strategic evaluation plan, and develop pathways to share learning internally across the institution and externally with the field.
