Economics Research Associates has assisted leading museums and cultural institutions to understand their audiences and reach sound business decisions. We provide detailed analysis and strategic advice tailored to the individual needs and capabilities of each of our institutions. While ERA has been a key part of many high-profile museum building and expansion projects throughout the world, we just as often work with regional and community scale institutions.
