The Museum Group (TMG) as a collective of colleagues has dissolved after 28 years serving the museum field.

Although TMG has dissolved, many of the members continue to maintain their thriving independent consultancies.

Our consortium of independent professionals who work with museums and other nonprofit organizations was founded in 1996. TMG provided a network and home for former senior museum employees who were used to having a work community of friends and colleagues.

From the start, TMG wanted not only to work with museums but also to contribute to the field. We hosted Conversations large and small at AAM meetings, brought two dozen museum professionals together for the first Museums & Race discussion, successfully lobbied for changes to AAM’s policies on who can propose and present sessions at the Annual Meeting; membership categories and voting rights; and service on its governing board, committees, and peer review panels.

Members have completed thousands of projects for clients around the world, published books and articles in professional journals, convened colleagues to address critical challenges, spoken at dozens of professional conferences, taught countless graduate students, and served on the boards of individual museums and professional associations.

In the last 28 years, museums have changed dramatically. The issues TMG’s members have collectively cared about will never be resolved, but they are front and center in professional dialogues. Independent professionals are seen as essential to the success of museums and their missions. Today, the museum field has a multitude of outlets for identifying the consultants it needs. With that in mind, the current members of TMG scanned the field and the extent to which consultants are now considered integral to museum work and decided the time has come to cease operations.
