Tiivistelmä: | This paper presents a global approach for museum assessment. The authors conceptualise a museum as an entity which needs to be evaluated according to three well defined tasks: preservation, research and communication, and outcomes. The authors propose a methodology based on the determination of efficiency frontiers. This method uses a deterministic non parametric and non convex technology (Free Disposal Hull). The authors analyse technical efficiency, but also scale efficiency with a new restrictive scale approach. The authors present an ordering of museums into classes representing a level of performance with respect to the three required tasks. The authors illustrate their analysis using a three year database of museums from the French speaking region of Belgium. |
