Your museumness is a valuable asset in itself.

Twice per week I meet another designer/developer/dreamer with an expensive great idea.  And nearly that often I meet a museum without one.  (You guys should hang out more often.)

Struggling brilliants would kill for the cachet of a museum in their corner.  Patrons and philanthropists exist to be handed a proper, capital-D Discovery (or innovation or breakthrough.)  See the brilliance of where that leaves you?  You can have no ideas and no money and still get a seat at the table.  Philanthropy grovelling-wise, an undeniably clever idea plus a museum’s clout is greater than the sum of its parts.  You’ve already got the latter, go in search of the former.  If you can’t find it, you’re in the wrong gig.

You squire two (2) first rate concepts from pipe dream to gallery floor and -poof- you’re a world class museum.  Concepts three and four will be cake.
