Number of Museums' visitors and ticket revenue

Question

I am looking for details about Museums' visitors and revenue from tickets, in specific European Museums.

I made a simple Google research and couldn't find something useful. Only a couple of pages where other people were looking the same data as me.

Ideally, I would love to have in addition a dataset of reviews for each of the museums. For example, tripadvisor reviews.

Are you aware any dataset like this or any way that I could construct it myself?

Answer 1

For EU museums: have you seen http://www.egmus.eu/nc/en/statistics/complete_data/ ? Seems to have what you want except aggregated by country

This isn't exactly what you're looking for but I wanted to provide you this lead in case it helps for comparisons to the US and hopefully it will help people who land here later.

For US museums:

Take a look at IMLS' (Institute of Museum and Library Services) datasets at data.imls.gov, including this one:

• Interactive dataset: https://data.imls.gov/Museum/Museum-Universe-Data-File-FY-2015-Q1/bqh6-bapa
• Data dictionary: https://www.imls.gov/assets/1/AssetManager/MUDF_Documentation_2015q1.pdf
• API: https://dev.socrata.com/foundry/#/data.imls.gov/kitj-k8bg
• Relevant columns:
  • INCOME - Total revenue from most recent Internal Revenue Service (IRS) 990 Form
  • DISCIPL – Museum discipline code of organization (aka type of museum)

If you are by any chance interested in libraries too, https://data.imls.gov/browse?category=Research+%28Statistical%29 has a lot of interesting information on libraries such as collection sizes and revenues.
