The cultural industry, a growth industry in which museums play a central
part, contributes $19 billion to the Australian economy annually, emphasizing
also the economic contribution museums make. This is mirrored in the UK
where museums contribute £3 billion to the economy (BBC, 2004). Museums
closely follow popular music as the most frequently attended cultural activity,
both in terms of number of people attending and number of visits (Australian
Bureau of Statistics, 2005). The Australian Bureau of Statistics conducted a survey
of attendance at selected cultural venues in March 1995. It revealed that a
total of 3.1 million people (22.3% of the Australian population aged 15 years
and over) had visited a museum in the period studied and museums were
considered to be either very important or important by 71.5 per cent of the
Australian community. This support was evident across all states and territories,
irrespective of whether the reporting individuals were users of the
facilities. US museums receive 600 million visits annually (AAM, 2006). In the
UK, museums attract upwards of 100 million visits per year (BBC, 2004), this
number is steadily increasing, being up from 59 million in 2000 (Wright et al.,
2001). By marketing museums, their role can be improved, which is of national
benefit in times of change and funding scarcity.
